Amid the tide of global trade, ocean freight has emerged as the mainstream choice for enterprises’ cross-border transportation, thanks to its advantages of large carrying capacity and controllable costs. However, selecting a reliable ocean freight service is no easy task. Unstable shipping space, difficulties in transporting over-dimensional cargo, cumbersome customs clearance procedures, and unreasonable route planning can all put transportation in a passive position. The key to choosing ocean freight does not lie in the level of freight rates, but in the ability to respond to emergencies, uphold safety bottom lines, and meet full-process needs. With years of experience in international ocean freight, Shanghai SBTG excels particularly in high-difficulty cargo transportation on China-Russia routes, helping enterprises avoid pitfalls in cross-border shipping with professional solutions.
1. Specializing in Over-Dimensional Cargo, Unlocking High-Difficulty Ocean Freight Scenarios
Ordinary ocean freight providers often shy away from oversized and overweight cargo, yet the transportation needs of such industrial equipment and production lines are precisely the key for many enterprises to expand overseas markets. SBTG focuses on this niche segment, specializing in the ocean freight services of over-dimensional cargo such as metalworking machine tools, tower cranes, oil and gas industry equipment, and complete factory production lines.
A typical example is a previous project we undertook—the transportation of a large-scale liquid filling production line. The cargo, with a total weight of 388.49 tons and a total volume of 1,418 cubic meters, was split into 137 shipping sections, with some individual pieces measuring 7.83×6.40×4.26 meters. Departing from Changsha Port, the shipment was directly transported by sea to the Port of Vladivostok. Throughout the entire process, SBTG strictly complied with over-dimensional cargo transportation regulations, formulated loading and reinforcement plans in advance, and completed all necessary cross-border transit permits. This precise control over high-difficulty scenarios has made us the preferred ocean freight partner for numerous industrial enterprises.
2. In-Depth Resource Integration, Building a Solid Core Guarantee for Ocean Freight
The stability of ocean freight relies on the support of high-quality resources. SBTG has signed direct shipping contracts with world-leading shipping enterprises such as COSCO SHIPPING and MSC, securing stable shipping space resources. Even during peak shipping seasons, we can ensure the timely departure of goods, avoiding delays caused by tight shipping space.
According to the characteristics of different goods, we flexibly allocate transportation resources: bulk general cargo is transported via full-container load (FCL) ocean freight; small-batch cargo over 10 kilograms is consolidated via less-than-container load (LCL) to reduce costs; over-dimensional cargo is transported via a multimodal transport mode combining ocean freight and road transportation, connecting with 24 special heavy-duty trucks in Russia to complete a 9,204-kilometer land transshipment. Meanwhile, we have established a multi-layered risk management and control mechanism, reserving alternative routes such as the Trans-Siberian Railway to respond to emergencies like customs clearance delays, thus maximizing the smooth progress of transportation.
3. Customs Clearance + Full-Process Services, Breaking Through the Final Barriers of Ocean Freight
Many enterprises’ ocean freight cargo gets stuck in the customs clearance process, mainly due to insufficient familiarity with destination policies and non-standard document preparation. Relying on its local service network in Russia, SBTG has a good command of China-Russia customs policies and regulatory requirements, providing full-process customs clearance support including HS code classification, license application, and document verification. We once set an industry benchmark by completing unloading and customs clearance at the Port of Vladivostok in less than two days.
Beyond core transportation and customs clearance services, our offerings cover the entire supply chain, including cargo packaging design, satellite monitoring and tracking, on-site assembly and commissioning, and destination delivery. Through an advanced logistics management system, customers can track cargo dynamics in real time, with every node from departure to delivery clearly visible. For high-value cargo, we provide comprehensive risk protection solutions to avoid risks such as damage and loss during transportation from the source.
The professionalism of ocean freight services is ultimately proven through consistent reliable deliveries. Adhering to the core values of “reliability, quality, and accountability”, SBTG’s 20-year error-free operation is underpinned by its meticulous attention to every detail—from the wording of document reviews to the repeated calculation of route planning—all for the sake of customer peace of mind.
Currently, we have established long-term cooperative relationships with more than 400 China-Russia enterprises, covering over 20 product categories. Having earned a reputation as a “trustworthy strategic partner” in the China-Russia over-dimensional cargo ocean freight sector, SBTG believes that choosing ocean freight services is essentially choosing a partner that can share risks. With core advantages in over-dimensional cargo transportation and supported by resource integration and full-process services, SBTG provides enterprises with worry-free and reliable international ocean freight solutions, helping cargo cross oceans and reach global markets directly.
