Transport of sea containers to and from nearest harbors inside and outside Ukraine

Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, most container shipments bound for Ukraine are being routed through major European ports, as direct access to Ukraine’s main seaport Odessa is either limited or heavily disrupted.

Key ports serving as gateways for Ukraine-bound cargo include:

1. Port of Gdańsk, Poland – A major entry point for goods heading to Ukraine, due to its proximity and robust infrastructure for handling containers.
2. Port of Constanta, Romania – This Black Sea port has become an essential hub for redirecting cargo to Ukraine, especially following the disruption of direct access to Ukrainian ports.
3. Port of Klaipėda, Lithuania – It also plays a crucial role in handling goods destined for Ukraine, especially for non-standard, oversized cargo.
4. Port of Hamburg, Germany – Its extensive infrastructure and strategic location make it an efficient transit point for goods heading to Ukraine

HK Courses in Ukraine has also contacts and solutions with those Ukrainian transport providers that operate regularly between these ports and the main cities of Ukraine. Railway transport for containers not being so efficient due to the different railway gauges used in Central Europe and Ukraine.

Cargo requiring temperature control

Certain goods, due to their perishable nature (foodstuffs, flowers, plants…) or their sensitivity to extreme temperature variations (pharmaceutical or chemical products), require transport that adheres to specific temperature guidelines. Discover the expertise of HK Courses!

These products must consistently be maintained:

• In negative cold (frozen)
• In positive cold (refrigerated)
• In positive temperature (heated)

Mastering the “cold chain” during transport, in compliance with current hygiene and health standards, ensures food safety, the integrity of the transported products, and their intrinsic qualities.

This is a fact known to all, climate in Central and Eastern Europe, especially in Ukraine varies a lot from brutal heat in summer (over 40 degrees in Kyiv) and very cold in winter (-20 degrees is not an exception).

So HK’s pool of subcontractors include many owning temperature controlled transport units, for FTL, LTL and even van deliveries. Because nobody wants to transport some of these specific goods that might be damaged by these climatic conditions.

ADR cargo

Certain goods that may pose a danger to humans and/or the environment (infectious, toxic, corrosive, flammable products, etc.) must be transported in strict compliance with international regulations:

• ADR (road)
• IATA (air)
• IMDG (maritime)

Assessment At HK, based on the information provided (class, UN number, packing group, weight, and quantity), our safety advisors determine and confirm with you the conditions and obligations under which express transport can be carried out, all in compliance with the regulations.

Technical Aspects Characteristics of Hazardous Materials Transport:

Certain goods that may pose a danger to humans and/or the environment (infectious, toxic, corrosive, flammable products, etc.) must be transported in strict compliance with international regulations:

• From part load (LTL) to full load (FTL)
• From and to countries that are signatories of the ADR
• For hazard classes 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.2, 8, 9
  (except for classes 1, 2, and 7)
• Single or multi-destination
