Big bags: cement and building materials
Cement, dry mixes and other building materials in big bags from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. We check the bags and loops, keep the cargo covered and photograph every handover, so torn or wet bags are spotted early.
How we handle it
Bags checked at loading
Loops, seams and labels checked and photographed before the cargo moves.
Kept under cover
We confirm the cargo was kept covered at stations and ports, as instructed.
Wagons and holds prepared
Wagons and vessel holds inspected and cleaned before loading.
Stacking as agreed

We carry dangerous goods by road, rail and sea (ADR, IMDG) with the correct documents and packaging. The only cargo we do not take is fertilisers, including ammonium nitrate.
