Transport and forwarding

Transport by sea, by road and on the ferry to Batumi

We arrange the carriage of goods in sea containers, by truck and by rail wagon, including on the ferry line between Varna and Batumi. We prepare the documents and clear the goods as your direct customs representative.

Modes of transport

How we move your goods

Each mode has its own page with the details. Rail and cargo insurance are covered further down this page.

Rail transport

Rail wagons to and from Bulgaria and on the ferry to Batumi

We carry goods in rail wagons to and from Bulgaria and on the ferry from Varna to Batumi, towards the Caucasus and Central Asia. We prepare the rail consignment note and clear the export or the transit as your direct representative.

Freight forwarding

What forwarding with us includes

Besides the transport, we take care of the documents, the customs clearance and the cargo insurance.

  • Route and mode

    We propose the route and the mode to suit the goods, the timescale and the budget: sea, road, rail or the ferry to Batumi, alone or combined.

  • A map of Europe and the Black Sea with pins and string
  • Documents

    We prepare and check the transport documents.

    • CMR consignment note
    • Bill of lading (B/L)
    • Rail consignment note
    • T1 and TIR transit documents
  • Customs at both ends

    In Bulgaria we clear export, import and transit as your direct representative. For the other end of the route, we agree the clearance with you.

Cargo insurance

Cargo cover under clauses A, B or C

We arrange cargo insurance for the journey. The cover is agreed under the Institute Cargo Clauses, according to the goods, the packing and the route.

Which option suits depends on the goods. We will propose the cover together with the transport quote.

Clause A

The widest cover: all risks of loss or damage except those the clause expressly excludes.

Clause B

Cover only for the risks the clause lists, such as fire, shipwreck, collision and water entering the means of transport.

Clause C

The narrowest option: only listed major events, such as fire, shipwreck and collision.

Corridor to the Caucasus and Central Asia

Beyond Batumi: to the Caucasus and the Caspian

The ferry line between Varna and Batumi links Europe with the Caucasus. From Batumi, cargo continues overland to the Caspian Sea and Central Asia.

Questions

Questions about transport

If you cannot find the answer, write to us or call.

Which containers do you work with?

All types of sea container: full container loads (FCL) and groupage (LCL).

Through which ports?

In Bulgaria, Varna and Burgas. At the other end, the port depends on the line’s route.

Do you deliver to the door?

Yes. Door to door, port to port, door to port and port to door.

How long does the journey take?

It depends on the route, the mode and the lines’ schedules. So we do not promise a time in advance: we give it in the quote.

Do you handle customs too?

Yes. In Bulgaria we clear export, import and transit as your direct representative, including T1 and TIR.
