The company has a proven track record in air and sea freight, trucking and railway transport services. Its comprehensive offerings include operating warehouse and consolidation facilities, and assisting clients with documentation and customs clearance.
A certified customs broker, Polar Logistics covers the main airports and cities in Russia, including the Finnish-Russian border. The company also engages in tailored, end-to-end foreign trade activities, from designing purchase contracts to receiving payments and delivering cargoes to the final consignees.
Leveraging its information technology links, Polar Logistics gives clients preliminary information on necessary value-added tax and other customs duties due for cash-flow management.
"Clients require up-to-date shipment information. We go further by providing a heads-up on customs requirements through our track-and-trace service," says group chairman Esa Kataisto.
Headquartered in Helsinki, Polar Logistics has offices and subsidiaries in Russia, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands and Ukraine. Its transcontinental network of agents and international affiliations allow it to serve customers in Europe, Asia, Australasia, North and South America.
Polar Logistics seeks to strengthen its European lead by nurturing partnerships and exploring complementary markets and businesses, particularly in the transport segment, by developing more trucking lines. The company has, for example, significantly enhanced its trucking network between Central Europe, Scandinavia and Russia.
In Asia, Polar Logistics works closely with local agents to assist clients procuring equipment. As Europe's gateway to China, Polar Logistics has an office in Novorossiysk, which provides the shortest sea route from Russia to China, and in Vladivostok, where planned port projects are under way amid growing China-Russia trade relations.
"We offer benchmark solutions for companies seeking growth in the value chain and for clients to maintain their competitive edge," Kataisto says.
