Navigation Preparation 2020

Year after year, at the beginning of spring MultiFracht starts to prepare its berth located in Bor (a town adjacent to Nizhny Novgorod) on the Volga river for the receipt of goods, to arrange its equipment, to enter into contracts for the use of berthing facilities with customers, and to charter the fleet.
MultiFracht’s berth is probably one of a few operating berths suitable for handling various types of cargoes: metals, glass, cargoes shipped in big bags and cases, equipment. The berth is equipped with a special container loading facility.
MultiFracht specialists expect that in 2020 the company will handle at least 60,000 tons of metal products (steel sheets, coils) for such big brands as Borsky Pipe Plant, Severstal, OMK, and Mechel. This figure is almost 15-20% higher than the one of the previous navigation statistics.
According to MultiFracht experts, this increase is due to the fact that, when properly organized, the river transport can overcome many “bottle necks” inherent to the railway logistics. In particular, the river transport is suitable for handling large-sized consignments, for accumulating and storing goods, and has nothing to do with the demurrage problem.

Rail freight offers a year-round
delivery of cargoes over an extensive railway network.

Advantages of the rail freight:

— low transportation costs, especially for long-distance transportation in remote areas;
— capable of carrying big volumes of cargoes per voyage;
— not dependent on weather conditions and seasonal features of the regions;
— high-capacity transshipment points, loading and unloading terminals;
— almost no restrictions on the cargo weight and composition.

Based on our long-term experience,
we may conclude that cooperation with one partner saves time,
money and spares the customer’s nerves!

The main advantage of multimodal transportation is that it there is only one person responsible for the services rendered. Efficient routes involving the most cost-effective vehicles in the relevant destinations.

Routes— door-to-door delivery with due regard of the transport infrastructure, environmental conditions, unloading / loading capacity in the region, regardless of the transportation distance.

Cost- if delivery time comes first, then the price will be higher; however, if you give priority to transportation costs, then we will develop the most cost-effective route, which is likely to take slightly more time.

For example, river transportation usually costs 30–40% cheaper than road or railway transportation (the difference may even be twofold or higher for separate directions).
