Storage in Klaipėda

Warehousing services at the Klaipėda Port

Ports have recently been acquiring more and more relevance in the chain of logistics, as cargo transportation through ports is more efficient, cheaper, and safer. In addition, ports provide an opportunity to store extremely large batches of cargo, which has made them a very convenient location for storage of goods.

The port of Klaipėda, like other ports, also offers cargo warehousing services: it has all measures put in place to ensure that cargo is properly accepted, measured, stored, and issued. Warehousing cargoes in the Klaipėda Port increases the efficiency of the cargo flow and ensures high-quality transit procedures.

What to choose: customs warehouse or general warehouse?

The selection of the right storage method for your cargo – in customs warehouse or a general warehouse, should be based on the type and destination of the cargo.

Usually, customs warehouses hold cargoes that are non-EU goods and are not subject to import duties, while EU goods are stored in general warehouses.

How is the storage organised?

The process of cargo storage is comprised of the following stages:

• Acceptance: making cargo-related calculations, sorting out cargo based on dimensions and formalisation of the required documents.
• Storage: sorting out and labelling of cargo.
• Release: at the time when cargo has to be transferred to a vehicle, carrying out a repeat check of the cargo and preparing it for shipping.
