The American dream — made in Ukraine!

This year, real estate prices in the USA have reached another record high.
But there’s good news — Ukrainian producers are ready to bring hope to every American who dreams of owning a home for a more reasonable price 😉

No jokes — in recent years, Ukrainian factories have significantly increased the share of value-added products.
This time, we’ve organized a delivery of a modular block house directly to the U.S. 🇺🇸

With Global Ocean Link, the American dream come true 🌍

A complex logistics project involving the delivery of steel coils along the India – Poland – Ukraine route 🌐

The key challenge was the unexpected refusal of the Port of Gdansk to accept the cargo, despite the bill of lading being issued for this port by the Indian sender.
The situation required quick response: we tracked the vessel’s movement between ports and negotiated with various terminals regarding unloading and cargo handling possibilities. Additional complexity arose from the presence of a larger cargo shipment on board, which competed with our shipment for port resources.
Despite all difficulties, we managed not only to find an optimal unloading solution but also maintained the initial rates for the Ukrainian client, avoiding additional costs. We provided a full range of services: organization of loading/unloading operations at the port, customs clearance, transport arrangement, and timely cargo removal.
This case demonstrates our ability to act effectively in non-standard situations while maintaining high service quality and protecting the client’s interests.

Cargo: Oil

Volume: 1.5 thousand tons

Departure: Ukraine

Destination: China

---

The transportation of cargo across a few countries is always a difficult challenge. It is necessary to know the peculiarities of the process not only at the organizational level, but also to understand many legal and technical aspects so that the cargo can get from point A to point B without any problems. The Global Ocean Link team has enough professionalism to do this work efficiently. Although, we admit, sometimes customer orders become “tasks with an asterisk” for us. But at the same time, it is an opportunity to improve ourselves, improve our service and gain new experience. Let’s talk about one such case in more detail.

Oil transportation to China via Poland

So, we received a large-scale customer order for the transportation of 1.5 thousand tons of oil from Ukraine to China. Developing the optimal logistics route, we decided to transport the cargo in transit through Poland to the port of Gdansk.

The task was not easy and involved a lot of work. We loaded an entire train with oil in 62 containers, each 20 ft long. The cargo successfully arrived in Gdansk, after which the oil was reloaded onto a container ship and shipped to Shanghai. In order for everything to go smoothly, it was necessary to ensure that all the links in the logistics chain worked together. We coped with the task perfectly, and the client company was satisfied.

Working with such cases is a great responsibility. When such a volume of cargo is transported over a long distance by several modes of transport with overload, the team of the logistics company that takes it on must be aware of even the smallest technical and legal nuances. This is what makes it possible to properly organize and monitor transportation at all stages.

Cargo: NPK fertilizers

Location: Orlivka port, Ukraine

Among the services provided by Global Ocean Link is the unloading of cargo from ships and its subsequent packaging into big bags. As a rule, these big bags are then loaded into road transport for transportation to the destination of the client company.

Another successful case of unloading a large volume of fertilizers

We used the above algorithm when we had to unload and pack 3,000 tons of NPK* fertilizers* that were transported in bulk. Working with such large volumes of cargo and responsible orders is part of the daily work of the GOL team. Therefore, we know how to provide these services to ensure that the cargo is preserved and packaged in the best possible way.

* By the way, the abbreviation NPK in the fertilizer labeling indicates that it contains 3 main elements – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). It may also contain macro- and microelements and binding salts.

Our company works with various types of cargo because our team is well aware of all the necessary regulations and standards for the provision of services for each case, considering its specifics.

Cargo: sunflower meal

Volume: 4.2 thousand tons

Departure: China

Destination: Ukraine

The transportation of large amounts of cargo is the specialization of Global Ocean Link. Despite the “behind the scenes” of each successfully completed order is the coordinated work of many specialists of our team, such transportation is commonplace for us. Let us tell you about our next successful case.

Features of the transportation

Global Ocean Link has successfully implemented a project to deliver 4,270 tons of sunflower meal from Ukraine to China. To transport this volume of cargo, we used 150 containers, each 40 ft long.

We developed an optimal route that included multimodal transportation – road transportation to the port, sea transportation to the destination port in China, and domestic rail transportation. Thanks to our effective coordination, modern technical facilities and professional approach, the entire shipment was delivered on time and in excellent condition, which confirmed our ability to fulfill complex international logistics tasks.

For our team, such work is not just about fulfilling customer orders for the transportation of goods from one point of the world to another. It is an understanding that each such shipment of Ukrainian products strengthens the position of our raw materials abroad and enables the domestic manufacturer to gain international recognition. Therefore, we treat our work with the utmost responsibility.

Cargo: NPK fertilizers

Location: Pivdennyi port, Ukraine

---

Global Ocean Link regularly provides services for unloading cargo from ships and then packing it into big bags.
Big bags are special durable packages designed for this type of cargo. When the packaging is complete, they are loaded onto trucks to be transported to their destination.

Successful case of unloading NPK fertilizers

Following the sequence mentioned above, Global Ocean Link worked out how to unload and then pack 3,000 tons of NPK fertilizer* in big bags at the Pivdennyi  port. This cargo was previously transported in bulk on a sea vessel.
It is worth noting that imported fertilizer cargoes are usually brought to Ukraine before the start of the agricultural season. Therefore, it is valuable for our team that we are involved in the quality work of Ukraine’s agricultural sector at such a difficult time. As for the specifics of fulfilling such orders, it is since maximum care is required to preserve the quality and properties of the cargo. The accuracy of its packaging is equally important.

* As for the abbreviation NPK in the fertilizer labeling, it means that it contains 3 main elements – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). It may also contain macro- and microelements and binding salts.

When providing fertilizer unloading and packaging services, our team adheres to all relevant regulations and standards. Therefore, you can safely entrust us with this work.

Cargo: Salt

Weight: 9.2 thousand tons

Departure: Dumyat, Egypt

Destination: Chornomorsk, Ukraine

---

When the news space is filled with dry facts about transportation and its volumes, the complexity of the work of companies operating in the logistics industry is often lost. So let’s open the veil and show you how the logistics of such responsible and voluminous transportation is organized.
Let’s use the example of how Global Ocean Link transported a cargo of imported salt, which amounted to 9.2 thousand tons. An important point in this story is that it was the first import in the ports of Greater Odesa since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

GOL’s motivation and values

The work of Global Ocean Link is not just about delivering cargo from point A to point B. It is about a whole range of values that guide us in fulfilling orders. Among them are responsibility, timeliness, and competence. So, our team was well aware of the importance of the cargo arriving at its destination on time, and the customer company being able to use the delivered salt for its production needs.

What is the “backstage” of quality transportation

So, immediately after determining the volume of cargo, we focused on what conditions are necessary for transportation. At first glance, this stage is invisible, but it is crucial to ensure that the quality of the salt is maintained during transportation. Only then did we select the right vessel for the safe transportation of salt from the port of Dumyat to the port of Chornomorsk.
Another invisible side that remains on the backstage of transportation is its legal component. To ensure high-quality transportation of goods between countries, the logistics company’s team must be aware of the laws of both these countries and the international level. Therefore, we took care to prepare all the necessary supporting documents for customs control and compliance with international standards of cargo transportation.

Organizational and technical components

Let’s talk about loading and shipment. The salt was loaded onto the vessel in compliance with all necessary procedures and safety standards. By the way, it is at this stage that the quality of the cargo is checked. And thereafter, the vessel set sail towards the port of Chornomorsk.
Throughout the entire journey, the Global Ocean Link team monitored the condition of the cargo and transportation conditions. This is important to keep the whole process under control. So, when the cargo arrived safely at the port of Chornomorsk, the team organized prompt unloading of the salt and its delivery to the customer.

The result

Thus, a large batch of salt arrived from one country to another – 9.2 thousand tons of the product were successfully delivered from the port of Dumyat (Egypt) to the port of Chornomorsk (Ukraine). The fact that everything was possible on time and without any loss of quality is the result of a complex of necessary actions taken by a team of professionals. And although many of these actions, as already mentioned, usually remain invisible, at first glance, it is their coherence and systematic nature that makes it possible to achieve the desired results. This is especially critical in large-scale and responsible cases, where the competence of the logistics company is a critical factor and the cost of a mistake is extremely high.
This shipment was another confirmation of Global Ocean Link’s leadership position, high level of service and reliability in the field of cargo transportation.
