FREIGHT FORWARDING
Freight forwarding is a key part of the supply chain management process, as its main task is to organise the carriage of cargo and manage the transport process.
As part of our freight forwarding activities, we plan the transport in detail from the point of loading to the point of destination. We select means of transport, the parameters of which will be strictly adapted to your expectations and the specifics of the goods to be transported, conclude transport contracts, and inspect transport documents.
We also fulfil any additional conditions included in the forwarding order, such as arranging customs clearance, advising or additional cargo insurance. We coordinate and supervise every stage of the transport, taking care to provide reliable information.
Road freight forwarding
Road freight forwarding plays a significant role in the global supply chain, enabling goods to be transported efficiently over long distances using road vehicles.
The popularity of this mode of transport is mainly determined by its flexibility and accessibility. Thanks to the extensive road network, cargo is able to reach even the most unusual location at the time of choice. Road infrastructure elements significantly outweigh infrastructure elements of other transport modes.
Our road forwarding activities consist of organising and managing the transport of various types of goods.
We will carry out the following tasks for you:
We provide professional organisation of international and domestic road transport for the following types of cargo:
We will take on even the most unusual challenges to meet the diverse needs of our Customers. We treat each order individually and tailor optimal solutions. You can rest assured that, regardless of size or weight, your cargo will be delivered to its destination safely, on time and at a competitive price.
We work with regular partners who are generally trusted in the transport services market. We have an extensive base of contract carriers. We monitor the quality of the transport service provided in accordance with our carrier rating system.
Freight forwarding is all about people. Our experienced freight forwarders have been building lasting relationships with customers and helping to solve unexpected problems for years. This professionalism allows us to provide road forwarding services of the highest quality.
Rail freight forwarding
Rail transport can be an excellent solution when large volumes of goods need to be transported over long distances at one time. Transport costs will be significantly lower than for air transport, and lead times shorter than for sea transport.
A significant advantage of this mode of transport is the low CO2 emissions per load unit. Rail is relatively environmentally friendly, so we are happy to organise this particular transport. In addition, the railways are considered safe. Most rail systems have stringent safety standards, which minimises risk of accidents.
As part of our offer, we specialise in organising the following types of rail transport:
on the national and international market using wagon types adapted to the loads transported.
Rail now plays a major role in intermodal transport, where there is a need to use different modes of transport. We specialise in the comprehensive organisation of the supply chain, which includes the organisation of rail transport, transshipment and the delivery of goods to the end customer by the most optimal mode of transport. The knowledge and experience of our freight forwarders gained through carrying out orders in all modes of transport guarantees professional execution of the entire supply chain, with rail transport as its base. We also offer the organisation of all formalities, including customs clearance and advice on terms of carriage, choice of routes, and tariffs.
Sea freight forwarding
Our activity in the area of sea freight forwarding consists in organising the transport of goods by sea using specialised vessels: bulk carriers, general cargo ships, container ships, tankers, chemical tankers and others. We offer a full range of services from the development of a cost- and time-optimised route, the organisation of transshipment and warehousing, the organisation of all formalities and necessary documents and customs clearance, through to the delivery of the cargo to the port of destination.
We are involved in the comprehensive organisation of cargo flows worldwide:
We organise transport using all types of containers:
In order to efficiently execute the forwarding order and ultimately deliver the cargo on time, we cooperate with reputable shipowners from all over the world.
Our team of specialists will take care of all the details involved in sea transport, offering and implementing customised logistics and transport solutions, giving you complete comfort and peace of mind.
Sea freight forwarding plays a key role in global trade, enabling the large-scale movement of diverse goods between countries and continents. Sea vessels have a large cargo capacity, allowing large volumes of goods to be transported in a single voyage. Sea transport enables the transportation of a wide variety of goods, from food and food products to building materials, bulk goods, liquid goods or industrial goods of unusual dimensions. The undoubted advantage of this mode of transport, in addition to economies of scale, is its low costs compared to other modes of transport.
Our speciality is intermodal transport, so we will be happy to organise transport for you from the production site to the final customer on the basis of sea transport using other modes of transport.
Air freight forwarding
Air transport is usually more expensive than other forms of transport. However, for some goods, especially those with a high value or short shelf life, the cost may be justified by the speed and reliability of delivery. In the area of air freight forwarding, we deal with the comprehensive organisation of air transport. We prepare carriage and customs documentation, prepare cargo for shipment, organise transshipments and monitor air shipments.
W obszarze spedycji lotniczej zajmujemy się kompleksową organizacją transportu lotniczego. Opracowujemy dokumentację przewozową, celną, przygotowujemy ładunki do wysyłki, organizujemy przeładunki oraz monitorujemy przesyłki lotnicze.
Today’s airfreight forwarding systems allow real-time tracking of shipments around the world, giving you full control of your goods. We operate on the basis of the latest technology and the highest standards, and work with agents at the world’s largest airports, allowing us to provide our Customers with a service that is optimally tailored to their needs.
By means of air transport, we most often transport:
An important advantage of air transport, in addition to speed of delivery, is weather resistance. Unlike sea or rail transport, air transport is less prone to weather-related delays, making it more reliable for on-time deliveries.
However, air transport has considerable limitations. These mainly concern the size of the load space. Not only the weight but also the height of the load can be an obstacle. Limitations and restrictions also apply to the specificity of the loads being transported, in particular dangerous goods, flammable goods or corrosive substances.
Intermodal freight forwarding
Intermodal freight forwarding is definitely our favourite topic. This is because of its many advantages, the possibilities for creative planning, but above all because of reducing the carbon footprint. Thanks to intermodal transport, CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions can be significantly reduced, which is in line with the idea of greening transport, which is extremely important to us.
Intermodal freight forwarding
Intermodal transport involves the use of a combination of a minimum of two different modes of transport, i.e. road, rail, sea or air, in one coherent transport operation.
Intermodal transport must meet the following conditions:
Intermodal transport can only be carried out using dedicated transshipment points (land and sea terminals), which are located at ports and rail hubs and logistics centres. These points ensure that goods can be handled and moved without changing the loading unit.
The main advantages of intermodal transport include:
- Cost-effectiveness: Using different modes of transport in a single operation optimises transport costs. For example, goods may be transported by sea over long distances and then transshipped onto rail and/or road for delivery to the final destination. Optimal route planning and adjustment of transport modes to current market prices can reduce the cost of delivery by up to several tens of per cent.
- Increased flexibility: Intermodal transport allows flexible adaptation of the transport operation to the specific needs of the customer and market conditions. This could include changes to routes, the use of different types of vehicles or adjustments to delivery schedules.
- Optimising delivery times: The use of intermodal transport can reduce delivery times by eliminating the need to transship goods between different modes of transport. This is particularly beneficial when moving goods over long distances.
- Minimising the risk of loss and damage: Transshipment of goods between different modes of transport increases the risk of damage and loss. Intermodal transport reduces the number of transshipment operations, which reduces the risks associated with damage and loss.
- Global coverage: Intermodal transport makes it possible to cover different geographical areas efficiently, even if some of them are poorly accessible to a single mode of transport. Increasing the number of transport options available allows the choice of routes to be optimised and goods to be delivered almost anywhere in the world.
Intermodal transport offers numerous benefits to both customers and the environment. As part of intermodal freight forwarding, we will professionally organise this type of transport for you. We will ensure the most optimal solutions in terms of cost, time and efficiency. We have an extensive network of contacts in every mode of transport around the world. We also have no shortage of combined transport specialists. As a result, we can guarantee safe transportation by any means of transport to virtually anywhere in the world.
