Transit & Capacity:

Industry Focus: Port Rijeka is the Adriatic’s busiest port and a gateway to CEE, serving sectors like automotive (parts for regional assembly plants), machinery (for Croatian factories), and consumer goods (for regional retail chains). Whether your company sources auto components from Guangzhou factories, industrial pumps from Shenzhen suppliers, or home appliances from Foshan manufacturers, our FCL/LCL consolidation simplifies supply chains for CEE market access.

FCL: For industrial cargo, we use weight-balanced loading to maximize container space: heavy machinery at the base, lightweight components on top, and non-slip mats/dividers to prevent shifting during the long sea transit. This reduces damage risk and ensures 100% capacity utilization—cutting per-unit freight costs by 10–15%.

LCL: We consolidate smaller shipments into shared containers, grouping similar goods (e.g., all auto parts in one section) and labeling each supplier’s items with clear EU-compliant tags. Our team calculates space allocation to avoid overpacking, ensuring cargo meets Rijeka’s customs inspection requirements.

Time Savings: No need to manage multiple logistics providers for different suppliers—we handle coordination, pickup, and storage under one plan, reducing your team’s administrative workload by 50%+.

Cost Efficiency: Combining shipments cuts costs by 15–25%: FCL eliminates "half-empty container" waste, while LCL lets you split costs (e.g., a 6 CBM auto part shipment shares a container with 9 CBM of electronics).

Visibility: Track each supplier’s cargo 24/7 via our mobile app—from factory pickup to warehouse storage to vessel departure—so you can plan Rijeka receiving (e.g., rail transport to CEE countries, factory delivery) in advance.

EXW: We handle pickup from all your suppliers’ factories (even remote industrial zones in Foshan or Zhuhai), transport to our warehouse, and full consolidation—ideal if your suppliers lack EU logistics expertise.

FOB: Suppliers deliver to our Guangzhou warehouse; we take over consolidation, loading, and shipping from Nansha Port—keeping you in control of supplier timelines while simplifying your role.

CIF: End-to-end management—from supplier coordination to delivery at Port Rijeka, including consolidation, freight, and insurance (with coverage for EU-specific risks like customs holding or transit damage).

Vessel Booking: We secure container space (FCL) or LCL slots on weekly ships to Rijeka (via Suez Canal routes), aligning with your CEE market deadlines—critical for just-in-time production or retail seasonal stock.

Commercial Invoices: Itemized by supplier with accurate HS codes (e.g., 8708 for auto parts, 8413 for industrial pumps), fully compliant with Croatian Customs (Carina Hrvatska) and EU regulations.

Packing Lists: Clear separation of goods by source, including EU certifications (CE marking, REACH compliance) and technical datasheets—required for fast Rijeka clearance.

Certificates of Origin: Customized to each supplier’s location, leveraging China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) benefits to minimize Port Rijeka import duties (often 0–10% for industrial goods).

Warehouse to Port: After consolidation, our GPS-tracked trucks transport FCL containers or LCL shipments from our Guangzhou warehouse to Nansha Port (1–2 hour drive), ensuring on-time loading onto Rijeka-bound vessels.

Comprehensive Insurance: Optional coverage for EU-bound cargo—including protection against transit damage, customs delays, or lost shipments—critical for high-value machinery or CE-marked electronics.

Supplier-Specific Invoices & Lists: Each supplier’s contribution is clearly detailed, with EU certifications attached. This speeds up Port Rijeka customs verification (average 2–3 days vs. industry 4–6 days), getting your cargo to CEE markets faster.

Service & Price Advantage: Unlike local Croatian forwarders or generic Chinese logistics firms, we guarantee better service at the same price, better prices for the same service—backed by a 99% on-time delivery rate (thanks to fixed weekly Rijeka sailings) and 24/7 EU-time customer support.

CEE Market Expertise: We specialize in consolidating goods for Rijeka’s role as a CEE gateway, knowing how to package, document, and route cargo for cross-border distribution to Hungary, Serbia, or Slovenia.

Local & EU Knowledge: As a Guangzhou-based forwarder, we understand China’s supplier network (e.g., Dongguan for electronics, Foshan for machinery) and EU customs rules (e.g., CE marking, CAI duty exemptions)—minimizing cargo holds.
