✅TYPES OF CARGO
Conditions for the transportation of medicine and medical equipment vary according to its specific type.
The first such type is medical substances. It is a wide category that covers natural and synthetic substances of various physical and chemical origin. As cargo, most medical substances are fragile and sensitive to fluctuations in termperature and humidity. For instance, medical liquids are bottled in glass. In order to keep cargo safe and mechanically undamaged, medical liquids are secured within a vehicle with excess space filled with soft packaging materials.
The second type is medical supplies. This category includes various instruments, equipment, materials, reagents, and appliances used for medical purposes. During transportation of this kind of cargo, steps must be taken to preserve its quality and chemical properties. Medical supplies, like medical substances, must be marked accurately in order ensure appropriate transportation.
The third type is medical equipment. This hi-tech equipment is categorized as expensive and fragile and must be treated accordingly. In addition, medical devices often have non-standard dimensions and are therefore classified as oversized cargo.
We carefully monitor changes in the national and international legal regulation of cargo transportation and ensures the safe, timely, and appropriate shipment of medical substances.

✅TYPES OF TRANSPORT
Vehicle transport of medical components and products is a common and efficient option for shipping this type of fragile cargo. Road vehicles operate independently of seaport, airport, and railroad timetables. Transport may therefore proceed at almost any time of the day. Moving medical equipment by truck has a number of advantages, including the possibility to fully load the truck, accommodate special temperature regimes, handle bulky or oversized cargo, and consolidate cargo at our partners’ warehouses in Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and other European countries.
Transportation of pharmaceutical equipment and medicine by sea is also an advantageous, effective, and fast option for long-distance delivery. Containers used for transportation by sea ensure additional safety for the cargo. Advantages also include the possibility to fill the container fully or partially, transport powdery or dry cargo, reorganize cargo at port, and comply with simplified customs procedures in Europe and the CIS.
Transportation of medicine and medical components by railroad is also beneficial in case of long-distance delivery. Advantages include fast delivery, the possibility to reload any kind of cargo and use specialized carriages, platforms and containers. We offer transportation of pharmaceutical production and equipment by railroad between Europe and the CIS. As trains follow specific timetables, you can make orders in advance and receive your cargo within a specified timeframe.
Transportation of medical products and medicine by air is a fast but costly alternative. Cargo planes have considerable capacity allowing price economy when delivering over a long distance. The advantages of this way of transporting medical products and medicine include the possibility to ship from any international airport, handle oversized cargo, take advantage of connecting flights, provide comprehensive cargo maintenance while at airports, and deliver cargo directly to the recipient‘s warehouse.
Our specialists excel at attracting reliable transportation partners and choosing transportation optimally matched to the characteristics of your cargo. Where necessary our employees formulate combined schemes comprised of air, road, sea, and rail transport.
