You agreed on one figure, and at the end came THC, storage and idle time. Now you’re explaining the extra charge to your finance team. We price the whole route at once, from the port of loading to your gate.

Your own container (FCL: 20', 40', 40'HC) or consolidated cargo (LCL) if you don’t fill a whole one. China is our main direction, along with Türkiye, Egypt, Spain, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, India, the USA and Canada. No route transits russia.
| Route | Transit / service |
|---|---|
| Japan, Korea, China → Rotterdam → Ukraine | 31–46 days · direct service via Suez |
| Far East → Gdańsk → Ukraine | 48–55 days · direct services |
| China, Far East, India → Constanța → Ukraine | 60–70 days · the main entry point instead of the Greater Odesa ports |
| USA → Bremerhaven / Hamburg → Ukraine | ≈ 3 weeks |
| Gdańsk → Kyiv, rail (UZ Cargo Poland) | 4 days |
| Gdańsk → Dnipro, rail (UZ Cargo Poland) | 5 days |
Sea service to the ports of Greater Odesa is unstable and risky because of shelling: lines periodically cancel calls and reroute vessels, and we do not advise building them into a plan for 2026. The working entry points are Constanța and Gdańsk, then by rail into Ukraine.
We give transit times as a range. And the first thing we ask is what date you’ve already promised your buyer.
Shipping from China? There’s a separate page with routes and cases from there: Containers from China.
A form, Telegram or a call. The origin country, the cargo and a rough weight or volume are enough.
A figure to your warehouse, a few route options and a transit-time range. If you sent your latest invoice, we’ll go through it too.
You see the cargo at every transshipment, we forecast demurrage in advance and check documents against a checklist so the container doesn’t sit at customs. The invoice is what we agreed.

We know what it’s like: the deadline is burning, the line is silent and your buyer is already calling. Tell us where from, what and how much you’re shipping. We’ll see what can be done.
The supplier quoted 30 containers and 60 days by sea. We reviewed the packing and routed the cargo via Rotterdam instead of the standard Polish ports.
$30,000 + 15–20 days How it works in practiceFor years the client believed a truck through Poland could carry 22 tonnes at most, and quietly paid for the rest as air. We consolidated in China and moved the transit to rail: 28 tonnes per container instead of 22.
every 5th container free · growth 4–5 → 17–20/month How it works in practiceVet inspectors would not accept English certificates — the container stood still while demurrage ran. We found a vet control agent, introduced document pre-checks and secured 21 free days from the line.
$700–800 per container · 10–12 per year How it works in practiceHamburg meant four more weeks and a halted plant start-up. We noticed the same vessel calls at Antwerp a week earlier. We discharged there and moved on by land.
4 weeks → 1 · a couple of thousand € detour vs a day of plant downtimeThe difference is not in the name but in what you pay for. FCL — renting the whole container regardless of how much is inside. LCL — paying only for your own volume, but with handling at a consolidation warehouse.
| FCL — full container | LCL — groupage cargo | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | for the container, whatever is inside it | for your own volume (m³) or weight |
| Who else is in the container | only your cargo | cargo of other shippers |
| Transshipments | fewer — the container travels whole | extra: deconsolidation at the warehouse |
| Damage risk | lower — nobody moves your pallets | higher — more handling at consolidation and breakdown |
| Transit time | shorter | 2–4 weeks longer because of consolidation |
| Demurrage/detention | counted on your container | counted on the consolidator’s container |

A comparison by responsibility and risk. The LCL→FCL switching point in m³ we calculate for the specific cargo — it depends on density, direction and season.
Through Constanța and Gdańsk, then by rail or road. Sea service to the ports of Greater Odesa remains unstable and risky because of shelling, so for 2026 we build the baseline scenario through EU ports: a line can reroute a vessel at any moment, and it is better to plan for it than to learn about it after the fact. UZ Cargo Poland rail service: Gdańsk–Kyiv — 4 days, Gdańsk–Dnipro — 5 days.
FCL — you rent the whole container and pay for it regardless of how full it is. LCL — you pay only for your own volume, but the cargo goes through a consolidation warehouse: extra handling, higher damage risk and a transit time 2–4 weeks longer.
By specification: 20'GP — up to ~28,200 kg, 40'GP — up to ~26,700 kg, 40'HC — up to ~28,600 kg. But “it fits” is not the same as “you’re allowed to carry it”: a truck on the road is limited by weight control (~22 t because of axle load), while a container from an EU port can travel by rail — and then that limit does not apply.
Demurrage is the charge for keeping the container in the port or at the terminal beyond the free days. Detention is the charge for holding the container outside the port, at your own warehouse. These are two separate invoices, and they can run at the same time.
It depends on the corridor: Japan, Korea, China → Rotterdam → Ukraine — 31–46 days by direct service via Suez; Far East → Gdańsk → Ukraine — 48–55 days; China → Constanța → Ukraine — 60–70 days. Add purchasing and consolidation in China and customs clearance in Ukraine to the sea leg.
Freight to an EU port, port charges and documents, the leg to Ukraine by rail or truck, customs clearance in Ukraine and delivery to your warehouse. We forecast demurrage and storage in advance. Duty and VAT depend on the goods’ value and the HS code.
