Container delivery to your warehouse
The last-mile road leg of Sea+Road and Rail+Road
Container delivery to the consignee's warehouse is the final leg of a sea or rail route. We collect the container at the port or terminal, deliver it to your warehouse, wait for unloading or drop the box at your yard, and return the empty to the line's depot.
The last mile is where money is most often lost: detention for late return, truck waiting time, a container that cannot leave the terminal before release. So we plan the port-to-warehouse delivery together with the sea or rail leg and customs, and the road haul is managed by the same dispatcher.

Request and planning
We confirm the address, access, warehouse hours, unloading method and container gross weight, and choose a chassis for a 20' or 40', a heavy box and the height limit.
on the request day - 02
Terminal pick-up
We obtain the line's release and customs release (or open customs transit to the inland office), get the gate pass and pick up the container, checking the seal and condition with photos at handover.
1 day - 03
Delivery
We deliver the container to the consignee's warehouse and give advance notice of arrival. The waybill, including e-waybill, is issued; the truck's position is tracked by GPS.
1–3 days - 04
Unloading
Live unloading with the truck waiting, or the container is dropped at the consignee's yard. Waybill signature, photos, POD. For several addresses — devanning and distribution by tilt truck.
within free time - 05
Empty return
We return the empty to the depot named by the line before free time ends. The return receipt and EIR go to the client, closing any questions on detention and damage.
1 day
Problems
The container stayed at the consignee's warehouse too long, the line's free time ran out — a detention invoice arrives.
We check the free-time expiry before pick-up, schedule unloading around it and warn in advance if the deadline is at risk.
The container truck cannot access the warehouse, or a heavy box exceeds axle-load or height limits.
We check access and gross weight before dispatch and choose the chassis; if the box cannot be delivered, we devan it and deliver by regular trucks.
At the port-to-road handover it is unclear who is liable for container damage or a broken seal.
At terminal handover we record the seal and container condition in a report with photos; from then on we are responsible for the cargo — there is no unowned gap.
Documents
Documents for picking up a container from the terminal. Without the line's release and customs release (or open transit) the terminal will not hand over the box, and without a return instruction detention is easy to incur.

FAQ
No. Container delivery to the warehouse is part of our multimodal route: you get door delivery under one contract, with no need to find a local trucker and no liability gap at the port-to-road handover.
The rate includes a few hours of free waiting for unloading — the exact allowance is fixed in the order; beyond that, waiting is charged hourly. If the warehouse cannot unload at once, the container can be dropped and collected later, but it must still go back within the line's free time.
Yes, returning the empty to the line's depot is part of the service. We monitor the end of free time and warn you in advance if unloading drags on, so you do not pay detention for keeping the container too long.
Yes, under customs transit — to the customs office and temporary storage warehouse (SVKh) at destination where the cargo is cleared. The haul is done by a carrier with customs carrier status or against a duty security. The container reaches the consignee's warehouse only after release.
Yes, but the chassis must be chosen accordingly: for a heavy 20', one with enough capacity and proper axle-load distribution; for a 40'HC, a low-frame chassis to stay within the 4 m height limit. That is why gross weight and container type are needed in the request.
We are. At terminal handover we record the seal number and container condition in a report with photos, issue the documents and load the box onto the truck. There is no unowned zone between legs — we are responsible for the whole chain up to unloading.
