Delivery of Liquid (Fluid) Bulk Container Cargo to/from Russian Ports: Moving Your Liquids Safely and Smartly

Transporting liquid and fluid cargo is a highly specialized field in logistics. It requires specific equipment, strict adherence to safety, and a deep understanding of the product's chemistry. When you ship these goods in containers through Russian ports, these demands are tougher due to port logistics, customs rules, and the need for specialized containers. Our company offers comprehensive services for the safe, efficient, and on-time delivery of your liquid bulk cargo.

What Are Liquid Bulk Container Cargoes?

This covers a huge range of pourable products, including food-grade liquids (juices, oils, wine), chemicals (acids, solvents), petroleum, paints, pharma ingredients, and more. We use specialized container solutions for them:

1. Tank Containers: Reusable steel tanks fitted into a standard ISO container frame. They are designed for moving both hazardous and non-hazardous liquids and gases and offer maximum safety.

2. Flexitanks: Disposable, flexible polymer bags placed inside standard 20-foot dry containers. An ideal and cost-effective solution for non-hazardous food and industrial liquids.

3. Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs): Reusable plastic or metal containers (400 to 3,000 liters capacity) often used for liquids. They can be loaded into standard containers.

Key Challenges for Liquid Bulk Cargo via Russian Ports:

1. Equipment Match: Choosing the right container (tank container, flexitank, IBC) is critical, depending on the cargo's properties (viscosity, density, hazard class, etc.).

2. Safety & Integrity: We pay extra attention to checking the container's integrity and following all safety rules during loading/unloading.

3. Temperature Control: Some liquids need to be kept within a specific temperature range (heating or cooling), which is handled by specialized tank containers or reefers.

4. Clean-Up: Tank containers must be thoroughly cleaned and degassed after each use, especially when switching products.

5. Weight Rules: Accurate calculation of cargo weight, factoring in liquid density and tare weight, and adherence to weight limits.

6. Health & Environment: Strict rules to prevent spills, proper residue disposal, and adherence to sanitary norms for food-grade liquids.

7. Port Handling: Ports need specialized equipment for liquid loading/discharging and trained staff.

Our Liquid Bulk Delivery Process and Procedures:

Our plan for organizing the delivery of liquid bulk container cargo includes these key stages:

01 •

1. Initial Consultation & Planning:

  • Detailed analysis of cargo properties (hazard class, density, flash point, etc.).
  • Selection of the optimal container type (tank container, flexitank, IBC).
  • Developing the route and logistics scheme, considering port specifics and cargo needs.
  • Assessing the need for extra services (heating, surveying, insurance).
02 •

2. Equipment Prep & Loading:

  • Ensuring the tank container/flexitank is clean and ready.
  • Supervising the correct loading procedure and adherence to maximum fill levels.
  • Verifying integrity and proper marking/labeling.
03 •

3. Documentation:

  • Preparing a complete document package: Bill of Lading, Invoice, Packing List.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD), if applicable.
  • Certificates of Quality, Origin, Phytosanitary/Veterinary (for relevant goods).
04 •

4. Sea Freight & Port Handling:

  • Organizing sea freight in compliance with all regulations for liquid cargo.
  • Coordinating with port services for efficient and safe loading/discharging.
  • Monitoring adherence to all rules for handling liquid cargo in the port.
05 •

5. Customs Clearance:

  • Representing your interests before customs authorities.
  • Arranging and supervising any customs inspections, considering the nature of the liquid cargo.
  • Obtaining all necessary permits for cargo release.
06 •

6. Final Transportation:

  • Arranging container pick-up from the port using specialized transport that meets ADR rules (for dangerous goods).
  • Supervising the final unloading at the receiver's site.

Required Documentation:

For a successful delivery, the following core documents are typically required:

Bill of Lading

Commercial Invoice and Packing List

Supply Contract/Agreement

Cargo Specification (with density, viscosity, temperature, and other key parameters)

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) for hazardous liquids

Certificates of Quality, Origin, Phytosanitary/Veterinary (for relevant goods)
