Multimodal transportation from Turkey to Russia: prices and terms

Multimodal transportation is a cargo delivery option that uses different types of vehicles. The carrier is responsible at every stage of the journey, observing the terms and conditions of cargo transportation. This type of delivery is in demand for moving cargo over long distances if there is no direct communication between the points of departure and receipt by a certain type of transport.

The features of modal cargo transportation are:

transportation in the absence of direct communication between the points of receipt of goods and delivery;
organization of a safe and optimal route;
reduction of costs and time.

We offer professional logistics calculations, coordination of the actions of all participants in the import process, control over receipt and unloading.

WHAT IS MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION?

The procedure for moving goods of this type involves the use of different types of vehicles on separate sections of the routes. The procedure is complicated, requires the logistician to know the movement pattern, clear co ordination and control. The calculation is carried out in such a way that there is no downtime and serious delays, the goods are reloaded at the transshipment points as quickly as possible and with integrity.

Multimodal transportation is carried out by road, rail, and air transport. In the first case, services are in demand in such situations:

consolidated shipments are initially delivered to a hub, then reloaded in smaller batches for distribution to customer addresses;
there is no direct communication between the points, for example, due to the absence of convenient road routes or because transportation would be too expensive.

Rail transport is optimal if there are no time restrictions. It allows goods to be delivered to remote areas, significantly reducing financial expenses. Air transport is expensive, but indispensable for quickly receiving cargo within a couple of days.

MAIN ROUTES FROM TURKEY TO RUSSIA

When developing a route, factors such as the type of goods and deadline requirements are taken into account. If the top priority is the speed of obtaining the goods, air transport is chosen, followed by further transportation by freight trucks. Choosing air transport has many advantages, as the cargo can be received within three to four days, including transit within Russia.

Routes for multimodal freight transportation are developed individually. The route is planned based on the delivery address, deadline requirements, type of cargo, and ensuring the minimum transit time. Large roads and railway networks in the Balkan Peninsula, Western and Eastern Europe, and Scandinavia are commonly used for transportation. This allows for organizing delivery to major hubs such as Moscow and St. Petersburg for further distribution and transit within Russia.

When using air transport, loading is carried out in such large Turkish cities as Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir. Delivery is carried out to Moscow, Kazan, St. Petersburg, after which the transfer to the required address will be organized. For railway transportation, loading is carried out in Haidarpasha, Sirkeci, road transportation is limited only by the presence of normal roads suitable for cargo vehicles.
