The choice in favor of maritime logistics was made quite consciously. This type of transportation allows delivering goods over long distances. Maritime logistics has a number of specific features. In order for the cargo to reach the designated point, several procedures must be performed:
- execution of a package of documents for cargo. This includes the documents to ensure the safety of sea transportation as well as the required licenses for the exported goods;
- container selection, if required, or chartering of a separate vessel for bulk cargo;
- execution of customs documents providing permission to load goods on board.
During transportation, the vessel can moor at international seaports: this allows the company to track goods in transit. Telf AG has been operating in the world market for quite a long time and successfully: it offers customers an individual approach to solving issues arising, for example, selecting the most favorable logistics route for transporting the ordered goods.
Another feature of shipping is international regulations. On the way, in most cases, the ship enters the ports of different countries where different rules apply. Telf AG is familiar with the requirements of the laws of the countries, thanks to this, the cargo goes to its destination without delay.
