Universal Shipping Agency started its operations in St. Petersburg in 1995.
St. Petersburg's port is the largest transport hub in northwestern Russia. This "window to Europe" handles yearly millions of tons of different cargoes: imports into Russia, export shipments of domestic manufacturers, and transits. Dozens of ships are being loaded and unloaded every day in the St. Petersburg Port, including ships of by large ocean lines ensuring intercontinental traffic, those of feeder carriers serving neighboring European countries and those of shipowners operating on individual destinations. On the other hand, cargoes arrive at the port or leave it by road or by rail.
The job of a forwarding company is to organize the whole process of shipping the cargo. Coordinating the work among different modes of transport (road, rail, sea), meeting the requirements of sea ports, taking into account the needs of our customers and offering all the necessary additional services is where our company's staff are experts. We provide the full range of services not only in the St. Petersburg Port but also in such large European ports as Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Antwerpen and Rotterdam as well as in the ports of Baltic countries and Finland.
We know that in any business related to the export or import of goods transportation is an essential and often decisive factor in the process of making contracts and evaluating the pros and cons of a foreign trade operation.
