Task: organise delivery of a transit shipment from the USA to Saint Petersburg.
Cargo details
Silicones, adhesives, and pigments (non-hazardous).
Route
Port of New York (USA) → Istanbul (Turkey) → Port of Novorossiysk (Russia) → onward delivery to Saint Petersburg.
Client's wishes
Reduce transit time due to the cargo’s limited shelf life (1 year). Ensure safe transport of high-value goods.
Features of transportation
The focus was cargo protection and route optimisation to shorten lead time. A new logistics scheme was developed with a Turkey-based partner.
- Analysed the previous routing via Jebel Ali and proposed a transshipment solution via Istanbul.
- Agreed the container loading and securing requirements to prevent damage to the packaging (buckets).
- Coordinated transit handling with our partner in Turkey.
- Supervised loading to ensure the agreed loading plan was followed.
Result for the client
Transit time was reduced by 1.5 times. Total logistics costs and cash conversion cycle (inventory turnover time) were improved.
