Distinctive features of river transportation

Wide delivery geography. Russia is one of the world leaders in terms of the length of navigable rivers. Transportation may involve more than 100,000 kilometers of river arteries and 130 ports.

Seasonality. Due to freezing of rivers in winter, navigation in most regions of Russia is suspended. Therefore, the use of river transport for transportation is seasonal. It is usually possible between early April and mid-November.

Transportation by water makes it possible to deliver large quantities of cargo over long distances without loss of quality. One of the most common and effective ways to transport goods by water is sea ​​freight transportation. Most often they are carried out in a multimodal format, which involves the use of several modes of transport at once.

Features of water cargo transportation

Cargo ships are divided into types: sea, river, river-sea. The first category includes general purpose dry cargo ships, refrigerators, container ships, roll-on/off roll-off ships, bulk carriers with inclined hold walls, tankers, timber carriers, gas carriers, and ferries. The second type includes: self-propelled cargo ships (automobile, ore, cement, container ships, refrigerators) and non-self-propelled barge vessels.

Water transportation has distinctive features. In one cargo compartment, cargo with different physical and chemical characteristics can be loaded and stored together for a long time. During a long period cargo transportation by sea goods are subject to additional loads caused by pitching and storm vibration, changes in humidity and temperature. Ensuring the safety of products in such conditions is possible only with strict adherence to the technology of loading, placement, and fastening.

Cargo operations are regulated by general and special rules, codes, and guidelines for the maritime transportation of food, industrial, liquid, bulk, and dangerous goods. Goods for transport by water are accepted and handed over with external inspection and verification of compliance of prints and seal indexes with records in bills of lading and loading orders.

River and maritime transport During the preparation stage there are several stages. It is mandatory to analyze the characteristics of the cargo, select the optimal logistics scheme, draw up accompanying documentation, carry out packaging and labeling, insurance, and loading. The safety and security of the goods and the financial costs of its delivery depend on how well the preparatory measures are carried out.

International sea freight

Sea freight transportation are regulated by the UN Convention, the Brussels Convention on the Unification of Rules on Bills of Lading, the Hague-Visby Rules, and other legal acts. Containers are actively used in the delivery of products by sea. Reusable packaging allows you to transport almost all types of goods. Our company delivers in containers of 20, 40, 45 feet.

By type, containers are divided into:

  • Dry Freight Container is standard for small cargo;
  • Dry Freight Container High Cube with increased capacity;
  • FlatRack Container - platform for oversized items;
  • Open Top Container - with an awning instead of a roof for loading from above;
  • Refrigerator Container – refrigerated for goods requiring temperature control;
  • Tank Container – tanks for gaseous and liquid substances.

Container ships are most often used to deliver consumer goods. Their main advantage is that there is no need to reload material assets along the vessel’s route. We provide container shipping by sea to ship any consignment of goods, including groupage containers and large ship consignments of machinery, fossil resources, metal and other cargo. Transportation consists of the following stages:

  • signing an agreement with transport company;

  • no restrictions on dimensions and hazard classes;
  • reliability and safety;
  • efficiency.

Water transport is used to transport people, as well as cargo that does not spoil quickly. Despite the relatively high historical importance of maritime transport, it has long since lost its weight due to the increase in the volume of transport by commercial aviation, although water transport is still used for transportation and cruise trips. Modern water transport, of course, is much slower than air transport, but it is much more efficient if a large amount of cargo is expected to be transported. The weight of cargo transported by sea in 2010 is about six billion tons. There are races across the sea water transport absolutely any type, as well as scientific travel. In addition, the cost of traveling by water is much cheaper compared to traveling by air.

- barges are flat ships that are designed to transport large and heavy loads mainly along canals and rivers. For the most part, a barge cannot move independently, and therefore it needs a tug. Even at the beginning of the industrial revolution, barges were transported with the help of people or special animals used along with by rail. After some time, the barges left the race due to the labor intensity, as well as the high cost of transportation.

The infrastructure serving water transport includes docks, ports, shipyards and piers. In ports, cargo is loaded and unloaded onto ships, technical inspection of water transport is carried out at the dock, and repairs to watercraft also take place there.
