Rates for airfreight on imports are constantly rising, while capacity is very limited, especially for flights from China and the USA. Unimasters maintains the operation of its consolidation services through Frankfurt mainly from where consignments are transported by road.

Airfreight exports also score a dramatic drop in capacity, with shipments being mainly serviced by trucks through major airports in Northern Europe. This leads to an increase in transit time in some cases due to the prolonged stay in transit hubs.

We are in constant contact with our partners and the airline companies in order to offer the best possible air freight solutions.

Sea freight export FCL services
Unimasters provides export FCL solutions through the ports of Varna and Burgas, but also through Constanta, Thessaloniki, and Piraeus, as well as through ports in Northern Europe. At present, ports are operating as usual with all respective health and safety measures for container vessel handling. Road haulage of containers on the territory of the country is carried out without delay. Given the declining imports during the CNY and the subsequent quarantine of China, as well as the smaller number of voyages from Asia during this period, some container lines have difficulty securing empty container equipment for export or space on trans-oceanic vessels from regional hubs, mainly Istanbul and Piraeus. Unimasters' team is closely monitoring the dynamic situation with the equipment and the available space in order to offer its customers the most suitable options at the moment.

Sea freight import FCL services
Unimasters provides import FCL solutions through the ports of Varna and Burgas, Thessaloniki, which are serviced by feeder vessels, as well as through Piraeus, Constanta, and ports in Northern Europe, to which there are direct services from major Asian origins, providing shorter transit times. At present, ports are operating as usual with all respective health and safety measures for container vessel handling. Road haulage of containers on the territory of the country is carried out without delay. Although production in China is almost 100% back on track, due to reduced demand in Europe, some container lines are expected to declare blank sailings, ie. week without sailing, which would lead to a decrease in capacity and an increase in import rate levels. Unimasters' team is closely monitoring the dynamic situation with the equipment and the available space in order to offer its customers the most suitable options at the moment.

Pan-European and direct road groupage services
At the moment, our scheduled groupage services and our partner network operate according to the established schedules, routes and tariffs in case of emergency. Intensive road traffic, border closures, long queues at border crossing points and governmental restrictions in Europe can lead to changes in schedules and delays in transit times.

When booking a shipment, it is required to submit complete and correct information including consignee name, telephone and working hours of the shipper and the consignee.
