  • TYPES OF CARGOTYPES OF CARGO

    Conditions for the transportation of medicine and medical equipment vary according to its specific type.

    The first such type is medical substances. It is a wide category that covers natural and synthetic substances of various physical and chemical origin. As cargo, most medical substances are fragile and sensitive to fluctuations in termperature and humidity. For instance, medical liquids are bottled in glass tare. In order to keep cargo safe and  mechanically undamaged, medical liquids are secured within a vehicle with excess space filled with soft packaging materials.

    The second type is medical supplies. This category includes various instruments, equipment, materials, reagents, and appliances used for medical purposes. During transportation of this kind of cargo, quality deterioration should be prevented and exploitational characteristics should be preserved. Medical supplies, like medical substances, must be marked accurately in order ensure appropriate transportation.

    The third type is medical equipment. Hi-Tech equipment is categorized as expensive and fragile, therefore triggering certain transportation requirements. In addition, medical equipment is often of non-standard configuration and size and therefore classified as oversized cargo.

    AsstrA carefully monitors changes in the national and international legal regulation of cargo transportation and ensures the safe and timely shipment of medical substances and materials appropriate to their specific cargo type. 

  • TYPES OF TRANSPORTTYPES OF TRANSPORT

    Transportation of medical components and products by vehicles is universal and efficient for this type of fragile cargo. Road vehicles operate independently of seaport, airport, and railroad timetables. Transport may therefore proceed at almost any time of the day. Moving medical equipment by truck has a number of advantages, including the possibility to fully load the truck, accommodate special temperature regimes, handle bulky or oversized cargo, and consolidate cargo at AsstrA Partners’ warehouses in Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and other European countries.

    Transportation of pharmaceutical equipment and medicine by sea is also an advantageous, effective, and fast option for long-distance delivery. Containers used for transportation by sea ensure additional safety for the cargo. Advantages also include the possibility to fill the container fully or partially, transport powdery or dry cargo, reorganize cargo at port, and comply with simplified customs procedures in Europe and the CIS.

    Transportation of medicine and medical components by railroad is also beneficial in case of long-distance delivery. Advantages include fast delivery, the possibility to reload any kind of cargo and use specialized carriages, platforms and containers. AsstrA offers transportation of pharmaceutical production and equipment by railroad between Europe and the CIS. As trains follow specific timetables, our Clients make orders in advance and receive their cargo according to agreed terms.

    Transportation of medical products and medicine by air is a fast but costly alternative. Cargo planes have considerable capacity allowing price economy when delivering over a long distance. The advantages of this way of transporting medical products and medicine include the possibility to ship from any international airport, handle oversized cargo, take advantage of connecting flights, provide comprehensive cargo maintenance while at airports, and deliver cargo directly to the recipient‘s warehouse.

    AsstrA specialists excel at attracting reliable transportation Partners and choosing optimal transportation that takes into consideration cargo specifications. Where necessary our employees formulate combined schemes comprised of aviation, road, sea, and rail transport.
