Business Activity Ukraine and Russia: Update

March 18, 2022 - Gosselin is closely monitoring the situation in Eastern Europe. Since the beginning of the conflict Gosselin has kept short communication lines with both offices.

All our Ukrainian staff members are safe, but business in Ukraine remains halted until further notice. We remain in regular contact with Vlad Vasylenko, our local general manager. We are reviewing the list of shipments to/from/in Ukraine and will advise our customers and partners individually on the latest status.

In Russia the situation also changes every day. Shipping to and from Russia has been significantly impacted by the latest escalation of events. The current situation with supply chain options is really unpredictable and changing almost every day. Gosselin Moscow office is in touch with different transport companies, port agents and airfreight agents as well, on a daily basis.

Please be informed that the indicative rates, not fixed rates for international road transport increased approximately threefold since February, 24th February 2022. Transport rates may be valid for one day only and change the next.

Gosselin Moscow office remains operational, available for the expat community in the country, but is experiencing a very high demand for exports and storage.

Further in detail:

  • Russia imports
    To be sent to Antwerp by the agents. We then quote the on-forwarding to Russia the day we have a transport option.
     
  • Russia exports
    International road transport approx. 3 times more expensive than before the crisis, rates valid for 1 day.Transit time: before 7 days, now 11 days, but the availability of trucks is the biggest challenge.
     
  • Sea freight
    Right now, Gosselin routes sea shipments by truck to Antwerp. Sea shipments are not an option for Russian citizens. They only have road (truck) or air as possible transportation modes. Transit time extended by 14 days or more.
     
  • Airfreight
    Rates have doubled or tripled while capacity is (very) limited. Transit times via Istanbul or Dubai have doubled.
     
  • Storage
    We have sufficient capacity to store goods in Moscow (or Antwerp).

 

Business Activity Ukraine on hold

For the latest updates on Russia please contact Viktor Gordievich. For rates requests please contact Andrey Khomenko.

The situation remains very tense and is prone to fast changes. Our colleagues will do everything they can to inform partners and customers about changes that might impact their move(s).

Emergency contacts

International work experience

An international work experience

With Gosselin offices all over Europe, it’s almost impossible to know everybody. However, an international working experience can be the perfect way to get acquainted with colleagues from different countries. Roberta and Patrizio from the Italian office did just that, taking the opportunity to network and brainstorm work processes.
Road VS Rail transport

European Logistics goes Multi-modal!

Gosselin currently launched a new trial project combining the usual road transport with train groupage in Europe. It is the perfect combination between handling large volumes, less reloads, less damage risks, and focusing on sustainability at the same time.

Moving within the company

When Lasha approached John to offer his resignation because he wanted to leave Georgia, they sat around the table to look for a solution. At Gosselin, we do whatever we can to offer possibilities and growth to our employees.
