Big news from CF&S Lithuania — and it’s the kind that makes you want to shout it from the rooftops!
Our Lithuania team has officially been awarded the “Trusted Employer” certificate!
And trust us, this isn’t just some feel-good title — it’s a heavyweight badge of honor that says loud and clear: we take care of our people. We build real trust, we stand by strong values, and we mean it when we say respect comes first.
Only 2% of companies in Lithuania manage to earn this recognition.
With an 8th place finish at the World Figure Skating Championships, she landed the highest-ever result for Estonia at this level—stacking up a total score of 196.67 points and claiming her spot in the record books.
That kind of control, grit, and focus? It doesn’t just happen. She earned every point, and in doing so, locked in a place for Estonia at next year’s Winter Olympics.
Earning this wasn’t easy, there were some real hurdles, like rigorous evaluations, detailed documentation, and making sure every single step matches international standards. Big shout-out to our entire team and especially to our own Arkadiusz Barta for smoothly guiding us across the finish line.
Special thanks to Marcin Wojcieszyk from FranCraft, the consulting company that expertly guided and supported us throughout the certification process!
We are proud to announce the successful air freight transportation for 24 tons of dry yeast from Salutaguse Pärmitehas AS (Estonia) to Montreal, Canada. This is an exceptionally large shipment for air transport, requiring meticulous planning and execution.
This shipment required special attention to packaging. Due to the limits on cargo height for air freight, our team completely repacked the cargo to comply with aviation standards.
Our Gruop member DAKO Worldwide Transport GmbH is proud to support the Gonzaga Ridge Wind Project in California, delivering 25 N149 turbines from Chennai, India, to Stockton, USA. This project will generate 147.5 MW of wind power and provide 50 MW of energy storage for 385,000 customers.
Konnichiwa from Japan!
Japan isn’t just about sushi and cherry blossoms —it’s a key player in global logistics. With CF&S Group expanding into Asia, our Project Team members, Valentin Bezdenezhnykh and Vitali Pavlushin, are on the ground, meeting partners and exploring opportunities.
CF&S proudly congratulates Niina Petrõkina on her outstanding victory at the European Figure Skating Championships 2025! This gold medal is a testament to her incredible talent, relentless dedication, and passion for the sport. Niina’s flawless performances captivated audiences and judges alike, securing her place at the top of European figure skating.
Her hard work has paid off in the most spectacular way, and we couldn’t be prouder to support her journey.
CF&S Group memder DAKO Worldwide Transport GmbH is proud to share a another milestone as we wrap up 2024!
Our wind team successfully completed the transport of the first batch for the Dolores Windfarm in Nuevo León, Mexico. And now, as we step into January 2025, the second stage of this project is in full swing!
Last week, our employees from the Estonian and Georgian offices, Maria Mahhorina and Vazha Pachulia, attended the BreakBulk Caspian conference in Georgia.
The conference centered on crucial industry developments, particularly examining the impact of the current geopolitical situation on logistics chains and the notable shift of logistics flows towards the southern corridor. A key focus was the growing significance of the transport corridor and Georgia’s strategic role as a transit country.
We are proud to announce another successful project: the transportation of a yacht from Tallinn, Estonia to Poti, Georgia.
As this year’s high season for yachting in the Baltic Sea is coming to an end, now is the right time to make sure that these magnificent vessels get to the best climatic conditions for continued enjoyment, or delivery to new owners.
At CF&S, we are always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in logistics.
Our recent project, executed by CF&S Estonia AS and CF&S Germany GmbH is the latest example.
We successfully transported a fleet of heavy excavators from different locations in Europe and China to Central Asia. This complex operation involved:
We just wrapped up a cool project – moving a rare 1977 Chevron B38 F3 car from the UK to Estonia. This isn’t your average cargo. At just 450kg with a 125kW engine, this classic racer needed special care. Our team at CF&S handled everything – from planning the route to sorting out tricky customs paperwork. Why’d the client pick us?
Our road and air transport teams are the artists of logistics.
So when a client urgently needed a new engine for their aircraft, our logistics experts rose to the challenge.
This particular operation showcased our multimodal solution where we combined both air and land transport to deliver the cargo within 7 days from Canada to Estonia.
The Finnish Trade Unions have announced a two-week strike beginning March 11, 2024. This action, which includes members of the Finnish Federation of Transport and Motor Transport Workers’ Unions, is expected to significantly impact the Estonian transport sector.
Normal operations at Finnish ports will be disrupted, causing delays in the delivery of goods shipped through these hubs. This Finnish strike coincides with ongoing labor actions across Europe and further challenges the transport sector. Border and motorway delays are already commonplace, making it a complex landscape for logistics.
We’re excited to announce the opening of our latest transit hub in Poti, Georgia!
This strategic location strengthens our commitment to providing top-notch transit connections between Europe, USA, Far East, and Central Asia.
Our dedicated team of professionals is on the ground in Poti, ensuring the secure and efficient handling of your goods. Their expertise guarantees smooth daily operations.
The ongoing farmers’ strikes in France are causing significant disruptions to road transport, directly affecting deliveries.
Here’s the situation:
-Farmers are protesting against financial pressures, leading to road blockades and unpredictable traffic conditions.
-Our drivers are facing real challenges on the ground, including vehicles being sabotaged.
The Red Sea Route is the shortest route from Asia to Europe, thanks to the Suez Canal. The only alternate is the route towards the southern tip of Africa. This journey is 11,800 nautical miles (21,830 km) vs. 8,500 nautical miles (15,725 km), adding around 10 days to the transport time. Not to mention more fuel and crew time, which in turn will increase the transport costs that the customer has to pay.
In order to protect commercial vessels, the United States has launched an international operation in the Red Sea. Despite that, most container shippers have still opted for a route around Africa as attacks have continued.
Simple solutions are closer than you can imagine. We know how to save our clients both time and money.
Why chose us?

See you again next year!
CF&S Group recently completed a unique logistics project that saw the transportation of 115 new wind turbines to the Baltic countries over the course of two years.
These parts are extremely valuable, with the value of one truck carrying the structures reaching up to EUR 1 million. Transporting such large and valuable parts requires extraordinary technical preparation, which is why we have been working hard over the last two years to ensure we can transport bigger and more powerful new models.
We participated with the CF&S team in Pori, Finland for a conference of Sampo dealers, where we met the top specialists of agricultural equipment. 🚜 🚜
We have already been serving Sampo Rosenlew Ltd as our customer for 6 years, due in part, because we offer 24h customer service and we always guarantee their deliveries on time.
Interview for the The Loadstar_20.01.2021
Container shipping’s capacity crunch has priced some agricultural and chemical commodities out of the market – in favour of breakbulk.
And the de-containerisation trend could spread to other cargo categories, according to Estonia-based freight forwarder CF&S.
The company recently loaded 700 tons of fertilisers, feed, and chemicals from Xingang to Hamburg in big bags on a multipurpose vessel.
I would like to inform you that from 01.01.2021 the activity of our office in Warsaw was transferred to Poznań. With a view to improving the quality of our services, meeting the needs of the customers, cooperation with our business partners and further development of the company, we consolidate our activities in the office in Poznań, which at the same time becomes the headquarters of the company (application submitted to KRS from 07.01.2021).
Recently, the world has faced unpredictable circumstances that in one way or another have had an impact on almost every business area; most of face-to face meetings and other issue related events have been cancelled or postponed. To keep on track CF&S has joined a Virtual 1-2-1 Meeting Week, initiated by Project Cargo Network (hereinafter PCN).
