Export and import
Your vessel is still on its way to port, and we’ve already requested the unloading invoice — so you don’t have to coordinate with the shipping line, terminal, or customs authorities yourself.
About the service
Your container arrives at one of Europe’s major ports — Gdańsk, Gdynia, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp or Constanța. You provide the shipping documents, and we take care of all coordination with the shipping line, terminal, warehouse and customs authorities.
You receive a fully managed port handling service without having to coordinate multiple parties yourself

Maersk lineCarrier restriction
The container arrived with Maersk, which does not allow third-party transport. We organised transshipment at a warehouse and dispatched the cargo with transport agreed with the line.
Result:Delivered without breaching the carrier’s requirements
GdyniaGdańsk
The container arrived in Gdynia while the transshipment warehouse was in Gdańsk. We arranged the additional leg and made sure the empty container went back to its depot.
Testimonials
Results first
“We really like the communication and the approach. The team reacts fast, keeps us posted at every stage and genuinely helps, even when things get complicated. You can feel the involvement and the control.”
“Transparency is the most valuable part. We see every stage of the cargo movement, and complex customs issues are solved without our involvement.”
“The team is always reachable and controls every stage of the shipment. Deadlines hold even on difficult routes.”
“We moved to Consolline after two failures with our previous forwarder. A year in — not a single hold-up at the border.”
“They priced the route within an hour and showed us straight away where we were overpaying on consolidation. It shows in the numbers.”

Frequently asked questions
We receive the unloading invoice 2–3 days before the vessel arrives. Once payment has been processed, the shipping line typically issues the container release on the next business day.
Yes, for most shipping lines. Maersk is the main exception, allowing only transshipment, rail transportation, or transport arranged directly by the carrier.
Additional charges may apply for port storage or late return of the empty container. We begin preparing the release process before the vessel arrives to help prevent these costs.
Yes. We use a dedicated specialised warehouse for oversized cargo and prepare an individual quotation based on your shipment’s specifications.
Yes. Through our own office in Warsaw, we work directly with the ports of Gdańsk and Gdynia and manage the entire process — from the vessel’s arrival through to container release.
