Reliable, fast and loss-free

We analyse the equipment specifications, the route, the infrastructure and potential risks in order to define the optimal delivery method in advance. We build a comprehensive solution that takes into account timelines, budget, cargo requirements and conditions at the final site.

What project logistics includes

• analysis of the project and the equipment list;
• design of the supply logistics scheme;
• route and infrastructure analysis;
• assessment of logistics risks and constraints;
• selection of vehicles and the optimal combination of transport modes;
• planning of loading, unloading and transshipment;
• selection of terminals and temporary storage sites;
• recommendations on packing and preparing the equipment;
• organisation of international transport and customs clearance;
• coordination of delivery to the construction site or industrial facility.

When you need project logistics
Project logistics is essential when building or modernising an industrial facility that requires delivery of a large volume of equipment, materials and components at the same time.
Projects become especially complex with oversized and heavy-lift cargo, tight delivery deadlines, several countries of origin and challenging infrastructure along the route.
We analyse potential constraints in advance and propose solutions that help avoid problems during project execution.

We don’t start with “what transport do we need”. We start with the project’s goal.
We study what needs to be delivered, from where, by when, where the cargo must end up and what constraints exist along the route. Then we design the logistics scheme and define the optimal sequence of all operations.
When needed, we combine international transport, customs clearance, terminal handling, industrial packing, oversized transport, rigging and equipment installation into a single chain.
As a result, the client gets a ready-made logistics concept and one accountable partner to deliver it.

Need to design the logistics for your project?
Send us information about the facility, the equipment and the planned delivery dates. We will analyse the task and propose the optimal logistics scheme.

We combine sea, rail and road transport and, when needed, add air and terminal solutions. We choose the scheme based on the cargo characteristics, timelines, cost and route specifics.

What the service includes

• design of the multimodal route;
• selection of the optimal combination of transport modes;
• organisation of sea, rail and road transport;
• transshipment between transport modes;
• terminal handling and temporary storage;
• customs clearance;
• cargo tracking at every stage;
• delivery from the supplier to the final site.

When you need multimodal transport
Cargo cannot always be delivered efficiently by a single mode of transport. International supply has to account for geography, infrastructure, timelines, freight cost, route constraints and the characteristics of the cargo itself.
We link different transport modes into a single logistics chain to find the optimal delivery option in terms of time, cost and reliability.

Why SK-Trade
We don’t offer a template route. First we analyse the task, then we design the logistics scheme.
For example, one leg of the route may be more efficient by sea, the next by rail, and the final delivery by road.
SK-Trade coordinates every stage of the supply and every party involved, so the client deals with one accountable partner instead of several separate contractors.

Turnkey international delivery
We organise multimodal supply from the supplier to the final site, including transport, transshipment, terminal handling, customs clearance and last-mile delivery.

Need a route for an international shipment?
Send us details of the cargo, the country of origin and the destination. We will design the optimal multimodal transport scheme.

We work with complex import shipments, industrial equipment, components and other cargo that require careful review of documents, HS codes and customs requirements.

What the service includes

• preparation and review of customs documents;
• classification of goods and determination of HS codes;
• calculation of customs duties and taxes;
• preparation of data for the customs declaration;
• liaison with customs authorities;
• support throughout customs procedures;
• advice on requirements for imported goods;
• resolving issues that arise during clearance.

Why correct clearance matters
Errors in documents, classification or duty calculation can lead to cargo delays, extra costs and the need to correct documents.
That is why we work out the customs side of the shipment at the transport planning stage and factor it into the whole logistics scheme.

Why SK-Trade
Customs clearance is part of international logistics, not a separate step after transport.
We tie customs procedures to the route, the documents and the specifics of each cargo. This is especially important when importing industrial equipment, oversized cargo and complex shipments.

As a result, the client gets single-point coordination of international transport and customs clearance without having to manage several parties on their own.

Need to clear an import shipment?
Send us details of the goods and the shipment. We will assess the clearance requirements, the documents needed and any import specifics.

We help build a logistics scheme for complex international shipments from China, Turkey, Europe and other countries when a standard route or the usual import scheme does not work.

What the service includes

• analysis of the goods and import conditions;
• review of foreign trade requirements;
• analysis of restrictions and supply requirements;
• design of the optimal logistics scheme;
• organisation of international transport;
• customs clearance and document preparation;
• selection of the route and the parties involved;
• cargo control at every stage of delivery.

When an import becomes complex
Industrial equipment, process units, components and other cargo require a special approach when customs requirements, product specifics, documents, country of origin and current restrictions must be considered in advance.
We analyse the shipment before transport begins to identify potential difficulties early and define a workable logistics scheme.

Why SK-Trade
We do more than arrange transport. First we get to grips with the shipment itself: what needs to be moved, from where and to where, which requirements apply to the goods and which steps must be completed before delivery.
Then we build a single chain — from the supplier and international transport to customs clearance and delivery to the site.
This is especially important for complex import projects, where a mistake at one stage can lead to cargo delays and extra costs.

Need to organise a complex import? Send us details of the goods, the country of origin and the final consignee. We will analyse the task and propose a possible supply scheme.

For each project we design a logistics scheme that accounts for the cargo’s dimensions and weight, road infrastructure, route constraints and the specifics of loading and unloading.

What the service includes

• analysis of the equipment’s dimensions, weight and features;
• development and detailed planning of the route;
• survey of difficult route sections;
• selection of specialised vehicles;
• loading and unloading calculations;
• permits and approvals;
• escort of the transport;
• transshipment and terminal handling where required;
• delivery of equipment to the final site.

When special transport is required
Large equipment cannot be delivered by standard vehicles without additional preparation. Height, width and weight limits can affect the choice of roads, vehicles, bridges, terminals and loading methods.
We identify these constraints in advance and build them into the logistics scheme to minimise the risk of delays, extra costs and cargo damage.

Why SK-Trade
Oversized transport is more than choosing a low-bed trailer. We design the route as a single system: cargo characteristics, vehicles, infrastructure, loading and unloading, intermediate terminals and the final delivery point.
When needed, we combine transport with rigging, terminal handling, industrial packing and installation of equipment on site.
You get one accountable partner who coordinates the complex move from the shipper to the final site.

Need to move oversized or heavy-lift cargo? Send us the dimensions, weight, origin and destination. We will survey the route and propose the optimal transport scheme.

We handle general, industrial, oversized and heavy-lift cargo. We select suitable terminal infrastructure based on the cargo’s characteristics, storage period and onward route.

What the service includes

• loading and unloading at terminals;
• receipt and release of cargo;
• open and covered storage;
• temporary storage between transport legs;
• transshipment between transport modes;
• placement of oversized and heavy-lift cargo;
• cargo handling operations as required;
• warehouse accounting to client requirements;
• monitoring of cargo movement and condition at the terminal.

When terminal handling is required
In international and multimodal transport, cargo may pass through several ports and terminals. Between the arrival of one vehicle and the departure of the next, safe storage, transshipment or additional handling is often needed.
We plan for these stages when designing the logistics scheme to reduce downtime and keep the cargo moving under control along the route.

Why SK-Trade
We see the warehouse and terminal not as a separate service, but as part of the whole transport chain. We select facilities and organise handling based on the cargo, the route and onward delivery.
For complex shipments this is especially important: one coordinator controls transport, terminal handling, storage and onward dispatch.

Need terminal storage or transshipment?
Send us the cargo details and the route — we will find the right storage and terminal handling option.

We take on the complex operations after delivery: from designing the unloading and moving scheme to setting the equipment in its design position. We take into account the cargo’s weight and dimensions, site specifics, lifting conditions and safety requirements.

What the service includes

• unloading of industrial equipment;
• rigging works on site;
• moving equipment within production sites;
• lifting and setting equipment in its design position;
• installation on a foundation or prepared base;
• selection of the required rigging gear and machinery;
• handling of oversized and heavy-lift cargo.

Transporting the equipment is only half the job.
Heavy and large units often cannot be unloaded or moved with standard means. We assess the cargo and site conditions in advance to choose the right technology for unloading, moving and installation. This allows the work to be sequenced properly and reduces the risk of damage to equipment and infrastructure.

Why SK-Trade
We combine international transport, rigging and installation into a single logistics task. That means the delivery method, unloading point, site specifics and subsequent installation are considered at the transport planning stage.

One contractor — from the route to equipment installed on site.
Need equipment unloaded or installed? Send us the cargo details and information about the site. We will assess the task, propose a work method and quote the cost of rigging and installation.

We provide the full range of work to prepare equipment for transport:

• a packing solution designed for the specific cargo;
• packing and repacking of industrial equipment;
• manufacture and fitting of protective crates;
• protection against moisture, dust, dirt and mechanical damage;
• preservation of equipment for long-term storage or transport;
• preparation of oversized and heavy-lift cargo for transport;
• marking and preparation for loading, transshipment and onward delivery.

Why industrial packing matters
In international and multimodal transport, equipment may go through several rounds of loading, unloading and transshipment. The right industrial packing reduces the risk of damage from impacts, vibration, moisture and other external factors.
We pay special attention to equipment with complex designs, sensitive components, large dimensions and long transit times.

Why SK-Trade
We see packing not as separate from transport, but as part of the overall logistics task. We take into account the onward route, transport mode, number of transshipments, storage conditions and unloading at the final site.

As a result, the client gets cargo ready for transport and a single logistics scheme — from packing to delivery to site.

Need to prepare equipment for transport?
Send us the cargo details — we will propose a suitable packing method and quote the cost.

SK-Trade coordinates procurement, payment to the supplier, international logistics and customs clearance. If you already know what equipment you need and who to buy it from, we will contact the chosen supplier and manage the process from agreeing purchase terms to delivery to your site.

What the service includes

1. Equipment procurement
We work from the client’s input data, contact the chosen seller, clarify the deal terms and coordinate the purchase.

2. Payment arrangements
We work out options for paying the foreign supplier in foreign currency, taking into account the deal terms, bank requirements and current restrictions. Payment feasibility is assessed case by case.

3. International logistics
We design the route and organise delivery from China, Turkey, Europe and other countries, choosing transport modes based on the equipment, timelines and budget.

4. Customs clearance
We coordinate document preparation and handle product classification, customs procedures and mandatory payments.

5. Delivery to site
We organise transport within Russia and, if needed, loading, industrial packing, rigging and installation of the equipment.

How we work

1. We receive the input data: equipment, specification and supplier information.
2. We work out procurement and payment: deal terms and available settlement options.
3. We agree the logistics: route, transport and customs clearance procedure.
4. We run the supply: coordinating every stage from purchase to delivery.

Who the service is for
Industrial companies, construction firms and contractors that need to buy equipment abroad and deliver it to Russia. We step in when the supplier has already been chosen but procurement and payment need to be arranged, or when an international supply chain needs to be built end to end.

SK-Trade is a single partner for procurement and delivery of imported equipment. We bring procurement, payments and logistics together into one coordinated process.
