What are port cargo-handling services?
Cargo handling services in the Port of Klaipėda cover the logistics process of transferring cargo from a vessel to another mode of transport, such as a rail wagon, truck or warehouse, and vice versa.
This process includes organising the loading or unloading of vessels, containers, road vehicles and rail wagons and involves more than simply moving cargo from point A to point B. It can also include assessing cargo condition, storage, documentation and preparation for the next stage of the journey. The service is particularly useful for bulk and liquid cargo.
Process
1. Arrival planning
We coordinate the cargo arrival time, mode of transport, terminal location and the handling equipment required.
2. Documentation and cargo check
Before handling begins, we verify accompanying documents, cargo data, condition and any special handling requirements.
3. Selection of handling equipment
Depending on the cargo type, we select suitable cranes, forklifts, conveyors, grabs or other terminal equipment.
4. Handling and storage operations
The cargo is unloaded or loaded and, where required, sorted and temporarily stored within the terminal area.
5. Transfer to the next mode of transport
The prepared cargo is loaded onto a vessel, rail wagon, truck or other transport unit and handed over to the next stage of the logistics chain.
