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.

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. 🚜 🚜

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.

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).
