International Transport and Logistics
Part and full loads by air cargo, ocean freight and intermodal transport.
International transport is the planning and execution of moving goods between countries by air, sea, road or rail. Our transport team at Akyol Gümrük manages this process from a single point, together with the customs procedures.
Our team has more than 20 years of experience in air cargo as well as sea, road, rail and intermodal transport combining them.
Which Mode of Transport Suits Which Shipment?
| Mode | Best suited for |
|---|---|
| Air cargo | Urgent, valuable and small-volume cargo; the fastest option. |
| Ocean freight | Large-volume and heavy cargo; the lowest cost per unit. |
| Road | Door-to-door transport to Europe and nearby countries. |
| Rail | Heavy cargo over long distances; faster than sea, cheaper than air. |
