Expert Logistics for Lithium-ion Battery Shipments: Air, Sea, & Land Transport Solutions

Shipping lithium-ion batteries demands specialized expertise and strict adherence to global regulations. Given the inherent risks associated with these powerful energy sources, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient transport is paramount. Our comprehensive logistics services are designed to navigate the complexities of lithium-ion battery shipping across all major modes of transport.

Air Freight Solutions (IATA DGR Compliance)

When speed is critical, our air freight services provide a fast and secure solution for your lithium-ion battery shipments. We are fully compliant with the stringent International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), which are the strictest in the industry.

• Expert Classification & Packaging: We handle the precise classification of your batteries (UN 3480, UN 3481) and ensure they are packed in robust, compliant packaging that prevents short circuits and withstands transit stresses.

• State of Charge (SOC) Management: We advise on and manage the critical 30% State of Charge (SOC) requirement for most air shipments, reducing thermal runaway risks.

• Documentation & Labeling: Our team meticulously prepares all necessary documentation, including the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods, and ensures all packages are correctly labeled with lithium battery marks, Class 9 hazard labels, and UN numbers.

• Cargo Aircraft Only (CAO) Specialists: We have extensive experience arranging shipments on cargo-only aircraft for standalone batteries, and can facilitate passenger aircraft transport for batteries in/with equipment under specific conditions.

Sea Freight Solutions (IMDG Code Compliance)

For larger volumes or when cost-effectiveness is a priority, our sea freight services offer a reliable solution for lithium-ion battery transport. We strictly adhere to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

• Robust Packaging & Containerization: We ensure your batteries are securely packed to withstand maritime conditions and assist with proper container loading and bracing.

• Stowage & Segregation Planning: Our experts meticulously plan stowage and segregation to prevent dangerous reactions with other cargo, ensuring full compliance with IMDG Code requirements.

• Comprehensive Documentation: We manage all required documentation, including the Dangerous Goods Declaration, integrated with your Bill of Lading.

• UN 38.3 Test Verification: We verify that all batteries have successfully passed the essential UN 38.3 test, a fundamental safety requirement for sea transport.

Road & Rail Freight Solutions

Our land transport solutions provide flexible and efficient options for regional and cross-border movements of lithium-ion batteries, fully complying with ADR (Europe), RID (Rail in Europe), and 49 CFR (USA) regulations.

• Secure & Compliant Packaging: We ensure all shipments meet the specific packaging standards for road and rail, preventing damage and short circuits during transit.

• Proper Labeling & Placarding: We guarantee that all packages and transport units (trucks, railcars) are correctly labeled and placarded with the necessary Class 9 hazard warnings and UN numbers.

• Driver & Vehicle Compliance: We work with carriers whose drivers are specially trained in dangerous goods handling and whose vehicles are equipped to meet safety regulations for battery transport.

• Optimized Routing & Delivery: We plan efficient routes and manage delivery schedules to ensure the timely and secure arrival of your battery shipments.
