Services overview Air Freight Sea Freight Road FreightRoad freight for domestic, European and international shipments where the cargo, route and operating conditions fit. Rail FreightFreightHub Logistics coordinates rail freight for suitable cargo on selected China–Europe and Eurasian routes. Project Cargo Industries overview Industrial & manufacturing logisticsKeep the production requirement at the centre of the freight decision. A missing component may need a different route from a planned machinery shipment; a large piece of equipment needs its weight and handling requirements understood before a schedule is agreed. Automotive logistics for production and aftermarket supplyA production-critical component and a planned shipment of replacement parts can travel through the same supply chain but serve different deadlines. FreightHub Logistics helps automotive businesses select transport around the cargo, receiving schedule and operational requirement rather than treating every parts shipment as an emergency. Healthcare & medical logisticsThe product's transport requirements should lead the freight plan. A diagnostic device, packaged clinical supplies and temperature-sensitive cargo need different handling information, documentation and routing decisions before collection is arranged. High-tech & electronics logisticsElectronics freight decisions need more than a carton count. Component availability, equipment value, fragility and battery content can all change the appropriate route and handling plan. FreightHub Logistics helps technology businesses bring those requirements into the shipment brief before transport is confirmed. Food and perishables logisticsFood freight starts with the product's requirements. A dry packaged shipment and a chilled consignment may need different transport, storage and handling arrangements, even when they share an origin and destination. The available shelf life also matters when comparing routes. Chemical logisticsA chemical shipment needs a clear product description before the freight options can be compared. Classification, packaging and handling requirements affect which routes and carriers can accept the goods. Some chemicals can travel as non-dangerous cargo; others require dangerous-goods documentation and specific transport arrangements. Renewable energy logisticsRenewable energy equipment may travel as standard containerised freight or as a shipment that needs individual project planning. Dimensions, weight and the delivery schedule determine the starting point. A consignment of electrical components and a larger item of project equipment should not be quoted on the same assumptions. Fashion and retail logisticsA collection launch and a routine stock delivery put different demands on freight. The receiving date may be fixed, while supplier readiness and shipment volumes still need confirmation. FreightHub Logistics helps fashion and retail businesses bring those details into a transport plan before choosing a mode. Consumer goods and FMCG logisticsRegular replenishment, promotional stock and larger inventory shipments each need a freight plan that reflects when the goods will be ready and where they must arrive. FreightHub Logistics supports consumer goods and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) customers through its Netherlands, Germany and China offices. E-commerce freight and inventory logisticsGetting stock from a supplier to the right receiving warehouse is a separate task from fulfilling individual customer orders. FreightHub Logistics supports international inbound freight and agreed inventory movements for e-commerce businesses, with dedicated e-commerce industry capability in the Netherlands and China.

Services involved: Road freight
Offices involved: Germany · Tashkent

FreightHub Logistics arranged transport of three IBCs containing a water-treatment chemical from Germany to a customer's facility in Tashkent. The shipment travelled by road and crossed the Caspian Sea by ferry between Baku and Aktau.

Three containers with separate gross weights

Each intermediate bulk container measured 120 × 100 × 117 cm. Their gross weights were 1,262.5 kg, 1,261.5 kg and 1,267.5 kg, for a total of 3,791.5 kg. The shipment was handled as a non-hazardous industrial chemical.

The customer needed the containers to arrive without leakage or damage, within the agreed schedule and at a reasonable transport cost. FreightHub Logistics collected the IBCs from the manufacturing plant in Germany and added securing before departure.

Road transit and the Caspian crossing

The route ran from Germany through Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan. At Baku, the cargo was loaded onto a ferry to Aktau in Kazakhstan. It then continued by road through Kazakhstan to Tashkent.

Preparing the shipment documents

FreightHub Logistics prepared a CMR consignment note, certificate of origin, material safety data sheet and supporting transit documentation for this movement. The paperwork accompanied the chemical cargo through the road and ferry stages.

Delivery in Tashkent

The IBCs reached the customer's facility in Tashkent within 12 business days, with no leaks or damage after the road journey, ferry crossing and border procedures.

Prepare an IBC-shipment enquiry

Provide the current safety data sheet, product description, container count, dimensions and individual gross weights. Describe the closures and any special handling or temperature requirements. Include the collection and receiving facilities, their loading equipment and the required delivery date. Classification and route suitability need to be assessed for the actual product and movement.
