Bulk cargo: coal, coke, sand
Dry bulk by rail to the Caspian and Black Sea ports, then by sea to the UK or other countries. We book wagons early, inspect the hold before loading and send you photos and a written status every day.
How we handle it
Wagons booked early
We watch wagon supply and your loading window, so the cargo is not left waiting.
Hold inspected
Holds checked and photographed before loading begins.
Weight under control
Weights checked at loading and discharge: our own survey, or a draft survey by Intertek or SGS.
Rules checked first
Export rules and rail restrictions checked for your cargo before you commit.
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.
