Valeriia’s cases: how it works in practice

Kyiv to Athens: metal cabinets

We arranged an international shipment of metal cabinets and one box from Kyiv to Athens on a dedicated vehicle.

The driver arrived for loading on time and loading ran without delays. The route passed without complications, so the planned delivery dates were met.

The cargo reached Athens on time, in full and undamaged.

Kyiv to Italy: metal cabinets to two islands

We arranged a shipment of metal cabinets with a total weight of 1,050 kg for two customers on the Kyiv — Italy route. The cargo travelled on a dedicated vehicle with two unloading points.

The route involved two ferry crossings to different Italian islands, so schedules had to be followed precisely and the vehicle monitored throughout. After customs clearance at Fernetti, the vehicle continued without downtime.

The first stop was the island of Elba: following the crossing on 19 May, the cabinets were unloaded within the agreed timeframe. The vehicle then headed for southern Italy, where the second consignment was delivered via the crossing to Sicily. The consignee in Syracuse accepted the cargo on 20 May.

Despite two ferry crossings and two delivery points, the shipment was completed without delays or damage.

Sea freight from Shanghai to Ukraine: solar panels

We arranged an end-to-end delivery of solar panels on the Shanghai — Gdańsk — Moshny (Cherkasy region) route. The cargo travelled by sea in six 40-foot containers to the port of Gdańsk, then onward by road.

The challenge was weight: 24.7 tonnes per container, whereas a standard curtain-side truck is rated at roughly 22 tonnes. We therefore sourced curtain-side vehicles with a payload capacity of up to 25 tonnes and organised the transfer from the containers into six trucks in Gdańsk.

We coordinated the work with the Chinese supplier, the shipping agent, the Polish warehouse and the customs brokers, so that a delay at any one stage would not affect the client’s deadlines.

All six vehicles arrived at the destination on time.

Kyiv to Croatia: metal cabinets

We arranged the shipment of three metal cabinets weighing 600 kg on the Kyiv — Croatia (Mlini) route. The priority was the fastest possible delivery, so we sourced a dedicated vehicle not tied to groupage schedules.

The cabinets stood 2.1 m tall, which called for a vehicle with sufficient internal height and carefully planned loading so the cargo could be secured safely.

The dedicated vehicle meant no intermediate transshipment was needed. Total delivery time was five days, including the queue at the border.

Humanitarian aid from the USA to Ukraine: container via the port of Gdynia

We arranged the delivery of 12 tonnes of humanitarian aid on the New York — port of Gdynia — Bilohorodka (Kyiv region) route. The cargo arrived in a 40-foot container.

The particular feature here was local handling at the port of Gdynia: the container had to be unloaded and the cargo transferred into a curtain-side truck. We took on the coordination of these operations and also arranged the T1 transit declaration for onward movement into Ukraine.

The humanitarian aid was delivered to the consignee in Bilohorodka. Every stage from the port to the final destination ran in sequence and fully coordinated.
