Cargo Transloading
A cargo needs to be transloaded during the track gauge changeover or during the transport mode change depending on the delivery pattern. The transloading can be carried out both directly from one rolling stock to the other and with cargo stowing at temporary storage warehouses and its further loading on another vehicle type.
Transloading Types
- transloading from narrow gauge wagons to wide gauge wagons, and vice versa
- transloading from road transport to any type of railway vehicles (container, wagon, flat wagon, specialized rolling stock), and vice versa
- transloading from sea containers to any type of railway vehicles and motor vehicles, and vice versa
- transloading from railway vehicles to ferries or ships for further transportation by sea, and vice versa
The AsstrA group arranges
- manual transloading
- automatic transloading
- transloading of oversized and overweight cargo under the supervision of qualified experts
If required, we design a pattern of cargo loading and its fastening on railway vehicles. Then we get this pattern approved at a departure railway station and we agree upon all the terms with the railway authorities of the route.
If required, AsstrA invites independent experts – surveyors - who attend longshore operations, make records of the loading/unloading process, and carry out the cargo inspection:
- examination of goods in order to confirm their compliance with the specifications and descriptions contained in shipping documents
- surveillance of cargo loading/transloading, fastening, and unloading
- finding and recording of possible reasons in case any damage is detected
The works of experts result in issuing an official document, a surveyors report.
