Features of sea routes
Containers from China are delivered towards three directions:
- Saint-Petersburg
- Far East
- The Black Sea
Sea logistics from China is well established and systematized. Carriers implement regular trips along the defined routes and guarantee following all the deadlines.
A price of delivery 40 or 20-foot containers depends on a distance between ports. Cargo transportation period from Shanghai to Vladivostok takes about 5-6 days, to a port in the Black Sea – 25 days, to a Saint Petersburg terminal – 45 days.
A type and a size of a shipping module are chosen according to the load it is going to have. It is cheaper to transport a 20 or 40-foot container by sea, rather than by air, automobile or railway. Many suppliers use multi-module transportation, i.e. involve several vehicles to deliver freight to a warehouse.
