Ukrainian businesses continue to adapt supply chains to new conditions in international trade. Routes that allow for combining sea, rail and road transport, using European and Danube ports, and reducing dependence on a single logistics corridor are coming to the forefront.
The international logistics company GRANDAR is developing comprehensive solutions for cargo delivery between China, Vietnam, the countries of the European Union and Ukraine.
Asia – Ukraine: several routes instead of one
One of GRANDAR’s key areas of activity remains container transportation from China and Vietnam to Ukraine.
Depending on the type of cargo, deadlines and the situation on transport corridors, different logistics schemes may be used:
• China / Vietnam → Ukraine;
• China / Vietnam → Europe → Ukraine;
• China → Danube region → Ukraine;
• China → Gdańsk → Ukraine.
Multimodal transportation, where sea, rail and road transport are combined within a single logistics chain, is of particular importance.
This approach allows businesses to respond more flexibly to changes in port and land crossing congestion and select a route tailored to specific cargo.
The cargo handled by the company includes equipment, components, automobiles, industrial products and steel coils.
A separate component of international logistics is arranging exports directly in China and interacting with local suppliers, manufacturers and major logistics agents.

Ukraine and the EU: Poland remains one of the key destinations
Another important segment is transportation between Ukraine and the countries of the European Union, primarily Poland.
GRANDAR organizes container and rail transportation, as well as logistics using European warehousing infrastructure.
Warehouses and logistics facilities in Poland and Romania can be used for accumulating, consolidating and subsequently distributing cargo across the EU or delivering it to Ukraine.
This is particularly relevant for companies with regular goods turnover that need not just a single delivery, but a managed international logistics chain.
The Danube and Constanța are becoming a separate logistics destination
Against the backdrop of changing transport flows, the Danube region and the Romanian port of Constanța are becoming increasingly important for Ukrainian businesses.
GRANDAR considers this route as a separate comprehensive logistics model.
It may include:
• receiving cargo;
• warehousing and accumulating consignments;
• customs clearance;
• certification;
• container loading;
• organizing vessel loading;
• stuffing different types of cargo.
A separate area is handling liquid cargo. In particular, sunflower oil can be stuffed into flexitanks for subsequent container transportation.
Combining the port, warehouse, customs clearance and road or rail delivery makes it possible to create a single route from the manufacturer or supplier to the final recipient.
Logistics is shifting from individual shipments to supply chain management
For importers, exporters and manufacturers, the ability to quickly restructure a route when the situation changes at a particular port, border or transport route is becoming increasingly important.
That is why a model in which one logistics company coordinates sea delivery, rail, road transport, warehousing, customs clearance and work with partners in the country of origin is becoming increasingly sought after.
GRANDAR is focusing precisely on this comprehensive approach: from organizing exports in Asia and international transportation to transshipment, customs clearance, warehousing and delivery of cargo to the recipient.
For Ukrainian businesses, this means the ability to use several transport corridors simultaneously — through Ukraine, Poland, Romania, the Danube and other European logistics hubs — and choose the optimal scheme depending on the specific task.
