An efficient logistics solution from Global Ocean Link: containerized transport to the EU, as an alternative in the conditions of borders blockade

Blockade of the borders with Poland is a problem that has gone far beyond the logistics topic and has moved into the political and diplomatic sphere. However, it is primarily Ukrainian manufacturers and logistics companies that suffer from it. And while this issue becomes the object of numerous manipulations in the above-mentioned areas, it must be resolved so that Ukrainian exports do not suffer losses. And this can only be done by offering an alternative.

So Global Ocean Link is launching a new service. This is the transportation of goods in containers as part of intermodal and multimodal transportation. In fact, this is a connection between Ukraine and the EU through the station “CHOP”, which will allow cargo to flow in both directions

Delivery time analytics

The situation today with the delivery of export and import goods remains tense, requiring more effective solutions to ensure business efficiency and competitiveness.

In this context, below are the delivery times for various routes that illustrate the challenges faced by companies and entrepreneurs when carrying out FDI across borders.

How it works

So, such transportation is provided by combining the work of 2 types of transport – rail and road. Everything happens in the following algorithm:

• The truck load arrives at the “Chop” station.

• It is then transshipped to rail transport.

• After that, the cargo arrives at the station.

• Then he goes again by a truck, with the help of which it already arrives at the final destination.

This logistics solution is designed primarily for export cargo, but is also available for import.

For the optimal organization of the cargo consolidation process (import and export), the client can use the services of the “Class A” buffer warehouse, which was built in 2024. Located in Mukachevo (Transcarpathian region), in close proximity to the border, as well as to the “Chop” railway terminal, it greatly simplifies logistics. Also, we can comprehensively provide professional customs broker services.

What are the benefits of the service

It is important to note that such transportation is universal in the context of accessibility. They are available for all types of palletized cargo, except reefer containers and flexitanks.

It is also worth noting among the advantages:

• Adequate terms. Thanks to properly constructed logistics, according to the terms of transportation

• Increasing cargo capacity. As part of the new service format, the capacity increases by 4 tons (instead of 22 tons, it is now 26 tons).

In addition, it is worth paying attention to the advantages of the containers themselves, which are used for such transportation. 45-foot containers combine all the advantages relevant for multimodal transportation. It:

• Flexible transport and/or cargo unit, which provides simple and fast loading, transportation and unloading of goods. Cargoes are easily secured in the container.

• Standardized norms and dimensions that ensure efficient handling by various modes of transport at container terminals throughout Europe.

• Resistance of the cargo transported in the container to atmospheric phenomena. Thus, it is protected from environmental influences.

• Versatility and wide application possibilities. This service is available for pallet loads, big bags, cardboard boxes. It is suitable even for loose and granular cargoes.

In addition to all of the above, it is worth noting that the Global Ocean Link company conducts constant monitoring (GPS system) throughout the entire transport chain. And special locks of increased secrecy ensure maximum safety of transportation. Thus, everything is aimed at ensuring that the quality of transportation is at the highest level.
