We will comprehensively consider the facilities, loading capacity, and reliability of each port based on the characteristics of the client's cargo and transportation needs. Helsinki Port, as one of the largest and busiest ports in Finland, has comprehensive facilities and dense routes but may face some congestion and loading pressure. Ports like Kemi and Kokkola are relatively smaller but may offer more flexible transportation arrangements and fewer congestion issues. We will communicate extensively with the client to select the most suitable port and route based on the cargo characteristics and customer requirements.
We will thoroughly understand the import and export situation of the cargo and provide targeted advice and guidance to help the client prepare and submit the required customs documents and procedures. Considering the special circumstances related to bordering Russia, we will closely monitor changes in relevant customs regulations and maintain good communication with the customs departments in Finland and Russia to ensure smooth customs clearance.
We will maintain close contact with Helsinki Port to understand the transportation and loading conditions. If there is an expectation of congestion or insufficient loading capacity at the port, we will communicate with the client in advance and cooperate with the port to develop effective plans and measures to ensure timely unloading and processing of goods.
We will develop transportation plans and measures based on seasonal impacts and weather conditions. During the harsh winter weather, we may choose more reliable transportation methods and routes, implement insulation measures, and reinforce packaging to ensure that the goods are not affected during transportation. We will also adjust transportation plans as needed to adapt to adverse weather conditions.
