Advantages of Working with Graincom Shipping

Our vast experience in sea cargo forwarding and long-term cooperation with all shipping lines, Ukrainian ports, and various cargo terminals allows us to achieve the best balance between cost and quality.

In addition, we maintain long-term partnerships with nearly all infrastructure providers operating in Ukrainian ports — from stevedoring and surveying companies to refrigerated port terminals and engineering bureaus for developing tailored solutions for oversized, heavy-lift, and other non-standard cargo. This provides our clients with significant advantages: saving time and the opportunity to use our resources and expertise to reduce the cost of port cargo handling.

One of the key responsibilities of a port forwarder is preparing the full set of shipping documents and customs clearance of goods at the maritime border. At the same time, it is essential to ensure that inspections and certifications are carried out with the involvement of customs, veterinary, quarantine, sanitary, and other authorities for the issuance of the relevant documents. We prepare all required documentation in full compliance with international standards, providing the highest quality service in cargo forwarding at Ukrainian ports.
