DG classification: IMO Class 8 (corrosive) with subsidiary risk Class 3 (flammable liquid).
Route
China → Russia (ocean leg with onward rail dispatch via the Far East gateway).
Client's wishes
Maintain cargo integrity across the full chain, with enhanced protection before the rail leg to minimise handling risks and prevent in-transit damage.
Features of transportation
Not all carriers accept Class 8 cargo with subsidiary Class 3 risk, as additional compliance and acceptance conditions apply. Growex managed the shipment end-to-end by:
- ensuring the DG compliance track for multimodal movement,
- aligning acceptance and handling requirements across the origin, gateway, and inland legs,
- securing carrier acceptance for the sea leg with subsequent sea-to-rail handover,
- coordinating additional protective measures at the Far East gateway prior to rail dispatch.
Result for the client
The shipment was delivered within the agreed timeline with no incidents and no unexpected costs. Beyond a one-off delivery, Growex established a repeatable, compliant logistics setup that the client now uses for regular shipments — reducing operational risk and freeing the client’s team from day-to-day coordination.
Feedback
“Thank you to Growex for an excellent job. You stayed in touch throughout, and every stage was coordinated.”
