Container delivery
from the port to your warehouse · pick-up at Vladivostok, Vostochny, Nakhodka
Container delivery from the port to your warehouse — when the sea leg is already arranged and the box needs collecting from Vladivostok, Vostochny or Nakhodka and bringing to your door. We handle the carrier release, customs clearance if needed, trucking or rail dispatch and the empty return to the depot. The whole port-to-door stretch is under one operator's responsibility.
The main risk of the final leg is container idle time. After free time the carrier charges demurrage while the box sits at the terminal, and detention after pick-up until the empty is returned. We track arrival dates and limits per container, plan pick-up, unloading and return in advance and warn before a limit is reached.

Taking over the leg, free-time check
We collect container and vessel details, check the arrival date and the carrier's and terminal's free time, and log demurrage and detention limits for each box.
1 day - 02
Release and pick-up prep
By vessel arrival we pay local charges and obtain the carrier's release, file the declaration before discharge if needed, book a container truck and arrange terminal access.
1–3 days - 03
Port pick-up
We pull the container out of the terminal right after release, record its condition in the EIR and avoid demurrage and storage charges.
1–2 days - 04
Door delivery
We deliver by road or dispatch by rail to the consignee's warehouse and agree an unloading window. Detention runs from gate-out, so unloading is planned ahead.
per address - 05
Empty return and close-out
We return the empty to the depot named by the carrier within free time, obtain the return EIR and hand over closing documents.

Problems
The box is burning money at the terminal: free time has expired, and demurrage plus terminal storage are accruing.
We obtain the release and prepare customs before the vessel arrives, so the box can be pulled right after release.
Detention for container use: unloading at the warehouse drags on, the empty return is delayed and the carrier charges every extra day.
We agree an unloading window in advance and keep a limits calendar with warnings before deadlines.
On empty return the carrier bills for damage that existed before pick-up.
We record container condition in the EIR and on photos at gate-out and on return — disputed claims are settled with documents.
The carrier delivered to the port, and nobody is fully responsible for pick-up, customs and delivery.
We take the whole port-to-door leg under one operator — from release to empty return.
Documents
Documents for the port-to-door leg. To collect a container you need the carrier's release, customs release and terminal access; the list depends on whether we handle customs and on the delivery term in the sea contract.

FAQ
Yes. If you have already arranged the sea leg, we join for the final stretch: obtain the release, pull the container from the port and deliver it to your door, taking full responsibility for that leg.
The original bill of lading, telex-release confirmation or a sea waybill; once local charges are paid the carrier issues the release. You also need the declaration with a release stamp, or customs transit documents, and a power of attorney to collect the cargo.
Demurrage is the carrier's charge for a laden container staying at the terminal beyond free time. Detention is the charge for using the container outside the terminal, from gate-out until the empty is returned to the depot. Some carriers combine them into a single D&D period, so we check the terms in each booking.
We track arrival and free time per container, get the release and prepare customs before discharge, and agree the warehouse unloading window and empty return in advance. We warn you ahead of any limit.
On request. We can do pick-up and delivery only if you clear customs yourself, or handle declaration and release turnkey before delivery to the warehouse.
The price depends on distance, container type and weight, unloading time and which depot the carrier specifies for the empty return. Heavy 20' units and distant addresses are sometimes cheaper by rail. We quote for your address within a day.
