Container transportation is one of the most favorable types of freight used in transcontinental communications. Mixed or, in other words, multimodal transportation through containers is considered to be more effective as it reduces costs associated with shipping, storing and unloading. Container shipping by sea is a significant part of cargo transportation by importing and exporting countries, and this type of transport is irreplaceable in the delivery of goods to Southeast Asia and America and to other continents.

Mayak Cargo company carries out multimodal cargo transportation in containers, passing any ports around the world, combining sea and land transportation. We offer competitive rates for shipments between 20 and 40 feet of containers from any country during the shipping process. The mechanism of interaction in the seaports of the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf has been established. Among the regular partners of our company are leading companies such as maritime container carriers Hanijin Shipping Co. LTD, China Shipping Container Lines Co. LTD, Hyundai Shipping LTD, U.F.E Shiping LTD, Maersk LineLTD, MSC, EvergreenLTD.

Very often, transportation of groupage cargo is the best option for regular deliveries of small loads and consignments. This solution is also optimal for a single shipment of a small consignment. It is usually required to transport such goods to owners of small and medium-sized businesses who buy goods abroad in small quantities. Using a separate vehicle to transport such goods is not advisable. In such cases, two or more loads are loaded into one vehicle or container. Such transportation is called the national team, and the transported goods are called national teams, or as they are also called groupage. When transporting groupage cargoes, mainly automobile transport and container transport are effectively used.

Mayak Cargo organizes the delivery of groupage cargoes through consolidation in transit warehouses and then forwarding to the destination. We have transit warehouses equipped with the most modern equipment for warehousing and dispatch of groupage cargoes in such European countries as Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Turkey. Such a transportation system can significantly save on the delivery of small loads and optimize the movement of freight vehicles. The transportation of groupage cargo from Europe is fairly well-established, since the warehouse infrastructure is highly developed there and there are no barriers to the quick customs clearance of cargo. As for the countries of the former Union, where the warehouse infrastructure and the structure of fast passing customs clearance of goods are not yet well developed, we also regularly collect groupage cargoes using the principle of sending freight transport from each consignor to another. For this, certain drivers who have received special training for the correct distribution of individual groupage cargoes in the car are used so that one type of cargo does not damage the other and does not mix with it, as well as the reception and delivery of each groupage cargo according to the number of shipping places. In Russia, we often collect such cargoes in Moscow and the Moscow Region and throughout Russia as a whole.

Rail transportation is an optimal way to deliver goods at any distance. First of all, attractive is a large carrying capacity, the ability to deliver items with different parameters, requiring various loading technologies. Goods that are considered oversized in road transport, require long-term approvals and special vehicles, can easily be placed on trains, and they are processed quickly and easily. And, of course, an important factor contributing to the popularity of the transportation of goods by rail is its economy, the ability to avoid unnecessary costs.

Loads exceeding the standard dimensions of trucks (2.45 - width, 13.6 - length, 3.1 m - height) and weighing over 24 tons are called oversized. Oversized cargo transportation requires special equipment as well as obtaining approvals for oversized cargo transportation along the entire route. For such transportations, as a rule, the route is carefully selected, taking into account the height and width of bridges and fences, the national rules for the transportation of oversized cargo in transit countries.

In some countries, depending on the dimensions of the cargo transported, not only coordination with road services is required, but also escort of road trains with escort vehicles (police, road services, etc.). Oversized cargo is transported by road using special low loaders - platforms, and oversized cargo is often transported by rail and sea or using the so-called multimodal transport, when one or more types of transport are used during transportation (for example: road and sea, road and rail transport).

Dangerous goods, according to the standard classification, include goods that have properties that can, under certain conditions, harm the environment, people, and property.
