Внутріпортове експедирування вантажів
Freight forwarding at the port is an essential stage of maritime cargo transportation. The procedure for intra-port clearance requires knowledge of the specifics of internal logistics and strict compliance with legal regulations. Therefore, intra-port freight forwarding should only be entrusted to a professional and reliable company.
Star Trans Logistic LLC has been providing freight forwarding and transportation services for over 20 years and assists with customs clearance. Thanks to close coordination with port authorities, shipping agents, and customs officials, the company ensures that customers receive their cargo as quickly as possible.
Stages of Cargo Forwarding at the Port
Sea freight and work in the port involve many stages: agreeing on unloading, receiving the cargo, checking its condition, preparing documents, handing it over to the customs broker and sending it on to the recipient. Mistakes at any stage lead to downtime and extra costs. Star Trans Logistic provides port forwarding services in Odesa: we organize unloading and transshipment, monitor the safety of the cargo, work with the terminal and the customs broker and hand the cargo over to the recipient.

Port Forwarding in Odesa and European Ports
Status as of October, 2026: container service to the ports of Odesa has been suspended, so port forwarding in the port of Odesa is temporarily unavailable. We remain based in Odesa and will resume work as soon as service is restored. We carry out port forwarding in European ports as usual. Please check the current situation with a manager.
Port forwarding of cargo involves working with shipping line agents, terminals and regulatory authorities. A port forwarder organizes unloading and transshipment, prepares documents, pays local charges, tracks the cargo and hands it over to the recipient or customs broker. Star Trans Logistic provides these services for container and other cargo regardless of the size of the shipment.
Work in European Ports
We work closely with European ports, and our cooperation with them has been well established for a long time: Klaipėda (Lithuania) is our main direction, along with Bremerhaven (Germany) and Gdańsk (Poland). We organize receiving and unloading of the cargo, work with terminals and line agents, process transit and hand the cargo over to a car carrier or to the broker for clearance in Ukraine. For cars from the USA, EU transit is processed under the T1 procedure, and all customs fees are paid once, at clearance in Ukraine.
