The United Arab Emirates today is one of the key logistics hubs connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa. Trade turnover between Russia and the UAE in 2024 reached a record $10 billion and continues to grow. We offer a full range of services for organizing container shipments from the UAE with optimal timeframes and competitive rates. Our many years of experience and established partnerships with leading shipping lines guarantee safe and timely delivery of your cargo.
Why the UAE is Becoming a Key Destination for Imports
In recent years, the UAE has transformed into a primary neutral platform for international trade. This is due to several important factors:
- Developed system of Free Zones – territories with special customs regimes where cargo can be stored for the necessary time and shipped to other countries;
- Strategic geographic location – at the intersection of maritime routes between Europe, Asia, and Africa;
- Modern world-class port infrastructure – Jebel Ali port is the largest in Western Asia;
- Re-export opportunities – the UAE actively operates as a transit hub for goods from third countries.
Types of Containers for Cargo Transportation
Various types of containers are used when organizing container shipments from the UAE, selected according to specific cargo needs:
| Container Type | Dimensions | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Standard 20’GP | 6.1×2.4×2.6 m | Universal cargo |
| Standard 20’DC/20’DV | 6.1×2.4×2.6 m | Universal cargo |
| Standard 40’GP | 12.2×2.4×2.6 m | Large volume shipments |
| Standard 40’DC/40’DV | 12.2×2.4×2.6 m | Large volume shipments |
| High 20’HC (High Cube) | 6.06×2.44×2.89 m | Light, voluminous cargo |
| High 40’HC (High Cube) | 12.2×2.4×2.9 m | Light, voluminous cargo |
| High refrigerated 40’HR | 12.19×2.44×2.89 m | Temperature-sensitive cargo |
| Open Top 40’OT | 12.19×2.44×2.59 m | Oversized cargo |
| Flat Rack 40’FL | 12.19×2.44×2.29 m | Oversized cargo |
| Collapsible Flat Rack 40’FL | 12.19×2.44×2.29 m | Oversized cargo |
For pharmaceuticals, food products, and chemical components, refrigerated containers with temperature control are optimal, while for textiles and electronics, standard or High Cube containers are preferred.

- Sea + Rail: delivery to the port with further transportation by rail to Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, and other cities (7-15 days after arrival at the port);
- Combined schemes: individual solutions taking into account the specifics of the cargo and delivery geography.
