• When we want to transport cargo to CIS countries, we have 2 options:

1.Shifting same container till final destination:

In this type of freight to CIS countries, depends on type of cargo, some clients don’t want to stripping or reloading cargo from first container into Truck, so we will transport same container up to desired cities.

2.Stripping container into truck:

In this type of cargo transportation to CIS countries, we are able to reload cargo from container into truck at borders or in the port and we can use different type of transportation more easily.

One of advantage of this method is not facing container demurrage charges but if we want to mention some disadvantage of stripping method, we would mention the risk of damaging cargo in reloading operations, which is very important for sensitive cargos such as: machinery, fragile etc.
