Multimodal Transportation from UK Ports
In addition to classic sea container shipments from the UK, we offer multimodal delivery schemes, combining sea, rail, and road transport. This allows for route optimization and reduced delivery time.
Main multimodal transportation routes:
- Felixstowe – Novorossiysk – Moscow: 28-32 days;
- Southampton – St. Petersburg – Russian regions: 25-30 days;
- London/Tilbury – Ust-Luga – Central Russia: 25-28 days;
This approach allows for the delivery of cargo by sea from the UK with subsequent prompt transportation to the final destination in any region of Russia.
