Briefly about bulk shipments.

Advantages:
– for the current market bulk option can be cheaper about on USD 80-100 per mt then container option;
– no risks shipments to be delayed because of shortage empty container or space on container vessels;
– rather cheap cost of DTHC/handling in Ukraine port in compare to containers;
– there are no risks for demurrage/detention after arrival cargo to Ukraine;
– you can sign contracts with seller of EXW/FCA terms and not depend on their plans for containers stuffing – cargo will be picked up fast by trucks.

Disadvantages:
– some sellers do not want to change anything – thus it takes time to agree with them such an option;
– handling such shipments is way more difficult than container shipments – thus you need reliable/experience partner;
– cargo to be stowed in proper bags/big bags etc for bulk shipments;
– average transit time from China to Ukraine about 40-45 days.

With our experience and variety of reliable partners/agents we can guaranty smooth shipments on any terms – EXW, FCA, FAS or FOB. We are also able to handle bulk shipments in Ukraine ports which are coming on CIF terms. Main commodities which are now shipped in bulk – fertilizers in bags/big bags, raw material in big bags, steel bars, steel coils, equipment ==> We are ready to offer service/provide offer for any type of cargo which might be potentially accommodated for bulk shipments.
