Transshipment of dangerous goods

Isologic is your trusted partner for safe and secure transshipment of dangerous goods as part of your wider transport chain. We make sure ADR consignments are received under control, can be kept safe on site for a short period, and then leave again exactly on schedule. We do this with well-trained staff and clear procedures in certified warehouses operated by Special Cargo Services. That way, your chain stays under control, without adding extra worries on your side.

Temporary storage and warehousing of DG

Between two legs of a journey, you often need a short window of storage. When you’re waiting for a connecting transport, for example, a flight schedule, or a fixed delivery slot. In cases like these, Isologic can temporarily store your shipment for up to 48 hours in one of Special Cargo Services’ certified warehouses. Strict safety and registration requirements apply there, so you’ll always know exactly where your goods are and under what conditions.

Need more time than that? No problem. Special Cargo Services offers a wide range of warehousing solutions, so we’ll always be able to find a suitable solution within our network. Naturally, we’ll remain your central point of contact throughout, and coordinate the alignment between transport, transshipment, and onward movement. That way, you’ll be able to rely on a single party that manages the entire process, while your goods are handled strictly in line with all applicable laws and regulations.

Specialist in ADR transshipment

Transshipment of dangerous goods takes more than just floor space. We check documents and certificates in advance, ensure correct labeling, and follow the requirements for each ADR class. Our teams are trained to unload, move, and reload ADR goods safely and efficiently. This keeps road transport, transshipment, and any subsequent air or ocean leg tightly connected and fully under control.

Class 1 explosives

Explosives for civil and industrial use are subject to particularly strict rules during transshipment. Special Cargo Services’ warehouses are fully rated for Class 1 storage. We also work according to fixed procedures and only deploy staff with the right permits and training. Combined with suitable loading and unloading equipment and a clear safety plan, this ensures your consignments are handled in a controlled, highly disciplined way. The risk of disruption or delay stays as low as possible.

Class 7 radioactive materials

For Class 7, safety and radiation monitoring come first. Drivers and warehouse staff work with dosimeters, protective equipment, and clear written instructions. Packages are not moved unnecessarily, and dwell times are kept as short as possible. Thanks to our experience with medical and industrial sources, we know exactly which steps are needed to keep your shipment safe during every pause in its journey.

Transshipment of all ADR classes

In addition to Classes 1 and 7, we handle transshipment for all other ADR classes. Whether you’re dealing with flammable liquids, gases, corrosive substances, or environmentally hazardous goods, we apply class-specific procedures and safe separation distances. Documents and labels are checked carefully, and any irregularities are discussed with you straight away. This keeps your entire ADR portfolio safely on the move.

GDP-certified transshipment and storage

Pharmaceutical products are subject to additional requirements around storage and transshipment. Isologic operates in line with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines. That means controlled access, clear registration, and, where needed, temperature-controlled conditions. We align our operating procedures with your quality system so audits and inspections run smoothly.

Medicines and preparations

Medicinal products and medical preparations must not lose quality during transshipment. Where needed, we provide temperature-controlled areas and keep dwell time as short as possible. We record arrival, departure, and relevant environmental conditions, so you have a complete and traceable chain record. That way, you can demonstrate that your products have been handled under the right conditions at every step.

Pharmaceutical raw materials

For pharmaceutical raw materials, a stable and controllable environment is just as important. Together, we define which temperature ranges, registrations, and checks are required. We build those requirements into our processes and reporting, in a way that fits your QA expectations. As a result, our transshipment operations become a logical, documented link in your own GDP-compliant chain.

Radiopharmaceuticals

Radiopharmaceuticals combine the requirements of Class 7 and GDP, and they’re often highly time-critical as well. We keep dwell time as short as possible, monitor both radiation and temperature conditions, and ensure clear registration throughout. Combined with specialist transport before and after transshipment, this keeps your radiopharmaceutical chain compact, safe, and fully traceable. No surprises.
