Why Rotterdam — Europe's largest hub
The Port of Rotterdam is Europe's largest seaport and one of the main gateways for cargo bound for Russia and Belarus. It handles the bulk of container traffic from the EU, the UK and beyond, which means frequent sailings and reliable service. What the Rotterdam route gives you:
The route works equally well for large FCL shipments and for LCL groupage — from a single box.
Delivery options via Rotterdam
We arrange shipments via Rotterdam with full logistics support. The main options are:
Cargo is delivered to the Port of Rotterdam, where it is consolidated and cleared. The containers then sail to Russia. We handle both FCL (full container load) and LCL (groupage).
Once the container arrives in Saint Petersburg, we can deliver:

- to a terminal
- straight to the door
Groupage is delivered to the client's warehouse or released at a terminal in Saint Petersburg.
What we ship
Cargo we ship via Rotterdam
We move goods via Rotterdam from Europe to Russia and Belarus, for businesses and private individuals alike.
Departure schedule and transit times
Our service runs on regular departures — you don't have to fit around one-off sailings, as shipments are consolidated at our warehouse in the Netherlands.
These figures are for a standard route with no customs delays and depend on the shipping line's schedule, document readiness and cargo category. For ADR, oversized and sanctioned items, transit times are calculated individually and fixed before the shipment starts.
