STG Transport – Experienced in Russian, Former USSR, and Eurasian Freight Forwarding
Complex cargo transport projects across Russia and the former USSR often fail due to planning bottlenecks caused by permit delays, route constraints, port congestion or limited equipment availability. STG identifies and resolves these issues early, ensuring projects remain on schedule.
Case Studies: Our Experience Speaks for Itself
It goes without saying that, directly as a consequence of the Ukraine conflict, as of 2026, Russia and the former USSR states are no longer active markets for STG. Despite this, the experience, connectivity, and contacts built up over a number of years could eventually still prove invaluable.
Among the many contracts to Russia, there were deliveries to not only Moscow but also Ivanova, Yaroslavl, St Petersburg, Tolyatti and Saratov, utilising combinations of road freight, railway services, and sea freight, depending on cargo and route feasibility.
Perhaps the “most ambitious” was the delivery of a furnace, measuring over 5.00m wide, from the UK (Oxted), via Russia, to Karaganda (Kazakhstan). Thankfully, it was during the summer months; in winter conditions across the road network would have been impossible. Although we have yet to be challenged, we believe that this is the longest distance for an abnormal load under police escort.
Moving on to Azerbaijan (Baku), the call came asking if STG could deliver a luxury motor home from the UK, within seventeen days – the deadline being that it was a birthday present for the customer’s wife.
Needless to say, STG rose to the challenge. By the careful but critical use of specialist trailers and high-speed ferry connections, we made it on time – the final task being to clean the motor home, prior to the birthday party.
PS – We would just mention that the customer had also purchased linen, cutlery, glasses, etc. from Harrods – if they were delivered to STG, would we make certain they were on board, no problem.
