charter traffic and logistics

Often, the necessary infrastructures have to be created to implement charter transports, production processes have to be adapted or changed, and the framework conditions have to be set so that charter transport can be seamlessly integrated into your supply chain. For example, production and delivery plans may have to be adjusted to accommodate the schedules of charter transport. In some cases, products also have to be optimized for charter transport. This may mean that products have to be packaged or prepared differently to save space and minimize transport costs.

To do this, we start with a detailed analysis of your existing supply and value chain to understand your production cycles, storage capacities, shipping needs and existing logistics processes. This deep understanding enables us to efficiently integrate charter transport into your business processes and can therefore take into account all relevant factors such as routes, schedules, loading capacities and costs. Our team is able to advise you on how to optimize your products for transport. For example, we can help improve the congestion factor of your products to maximize efficiency and reduce transport costs.

A concrete customer example of our approach: A company imports waste from sugar cane production from Brazil - the so-called bagasse. In Germany, this will be used primarily for sustainable energy production. In order for this type of goods to be used both economically efficiently and sustainably, it must be able to be imported or transported in large quantities, which is what charter traffic is predestined for.

Here, efficiency begins with being able to accommodate as much of the sugar cane waste as possible in one transport. Keyword: stowage factor, i.e. the ratio between the space taken up by the load and its mass. In order to achieve the best possible stowage factor, we advised our customer to press the fibrous plant waste into a compact form in order to make the best possible use of the transport volume. The necessary infrastructure was then created for this.

We remain your contact throughout the entire process and offer continuous support and advice to ensure that charter traffic is optimally integrated into your supply chain and that all your needs are met. This means you can be confident that your supply and value chain are perfectly coordinated with charter traffic.

On the one hand, we have extensive experience in negotiating and drafting charter contracts, as we know the market mechanisms and factors that determine pricing in detail. On the other hand, we can draw on a large network of logistics partners worldwide and independently select the best options for your requirements. This means you benefit from conditions that both protect your interests and represent an efficient and safe charter solution.

Transway ensures compliance with customs and compliance guidelines through a careful combination of expert staff, precise advance planning, close cooperation with customs authorities and the use of modern technologies. Our compliance team, which has in-depth knowledge of international and local customs regulations, constantly stays up to date with changes in the regulations and adapts our processes accordingly.

Before each transport, we carry out comprehensive compliance checks to ensure the conformity of all relevant documents. This includes checking shipping documents, export and import licenses and specific regulations for certain types of goods. Our close cooperation with customs authorities in various countries helps us to identify challenges at an early stage and avoid delays in customs clearance.

To support our compliance measures, we rely on modern technologies that enable fast, secure and efficient data exchange. At the same time, we attach great importance to the continuous training of our staff in the latest best practices for customs and compliance requirements. Our comprehensive risk management includes monitoring the entire supply chain and regular compliance audits to proactively minimize potential risks.

Transparency and accuracy in documentation are essential for us. We therefore ensure that all transports are thoroughly documented and that all necessary documents are provided for smooth customs clearance.

All of this is part of our daily work. What this means for you: You can be sure that everything has been thought of when it comes to customs and compliance.

Insurance solutions are an essential part of charter transport. Among other things, they are designed to protect your cargo at every stage of the transport process. In general, the transport risks in charter logistics and specialized freight transport are higher than, for example, in groupage shipments, so we always ensure that the cover is tailored precisely to your individual needs.

Typical examples include all-risk insurance, which covers damage, loss and theft. Liability insurance covers any damage to third parties or environmental damage. There are also special covers for heavy goods and special cargo, as well as project-related insurance for extensive, multi-phase transport projects. In addition, additional options such as war risk and strike insurance are available to protect the transport against very specific risks.

Our team of experts will advise you thoroughly on the risks of your specific charter transport and help you find the right, appropriate insurance solution.

Transway specializes in a variety of special charter requirements, including not only heavy-duty and dangerous goods transport, but also the transport of oversized cargo, temperature-controlled goods, sensitive electronic equipment and other specific types of cargo. We orchestrate such transports using a combination of specialized equipment, expertise and strict safety protocols.

For heavy-duty transports, we have access to specialized vessels equipped to handle heavy and oversized cargo. These include vessels with reinforced decks, increased load capacity and special lifting devices. For dangerous goods transports, we use vessels specifically designed for the safe transport of hazardous materials, including appropriate storage areas and safety systems.

Our team has extensive knowledge of the specific regulations and safety requirements that apply to heavy-duty and dangerous goods transports. We ensure that all transports comply with international and local regulations, including the IMDG Code (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code) guidelines.

Charter transports with special requirements require particularly careful planning and coordination. We carry out comprehensive pre-departure analyses to plan routes that maximize both cargo safety and transport efficiency. We also work closely with ports and local authorities to ensure that all aspects, such as special docking and disembarkation times or special handling requirements, can be met.

Of course, safety is our top priority, especially when transporting heavy goods and dangerous goods. We implement strict safety protocols and risk management strategies to minimize any risks during transport. This also includes regular safety checks and ensuring that all crew members involved are appropriately trained. Last but not least, we are flexible and adaptable enough to be able to respond to unforeseen circumstances in the best possible way.
