UMM Logistics

UMM vessel at sea

UMM Logistics provides the transport of all Naurits cargo. Every delivery, regardless of region and volume, is handed over to UMM Logistics, which organises delivery along the entire route – by sea, rail, road or, where necessary, air. In this way our customers have one logistics partner responsible for the entire transport. This makes it possible to maintain a single approach to organising delivery and to ensure that all its stages are consistent – from the port of departure to the final destination.

UMM Logistics is an international operator specialising in container transport. The company has its own fleet, containers, railway platforms and road freight vehicles. The main advantage of this model is the ability to manage the key resources and processes of transport independently, without relying on third-party operators. UMM Logistics controls the transport equipment, the schedule of voyages and departures, and the handling of each lot at all stages of delivery. For exporters and importers this means more predictable timing, control over the safety of the cargo and a single partner responsible for organising the transport from start to finish.

Cocoa products by sea

UMM Logistics uses its own vessels on the main container routes. Regular sailings, control over the placement and securing of cargo, and direct access to the largest container ports make it possible to organise reliable delivery of full container lots to the destination. Having its own fleet allows cargo space on board to be planned in advance, without depending on booking space with third-party carriers. During loading, particular attention is paid to correct placement and secure lashing of the cargo, taking into account the specifics of each type of product.

Cocoa products by rail

The own railway platforms of UMM Logistics provide the link between ports and inland terminals. Container trains ensure stable transit times and high capacity for large volumes, and connect the sea leg of the route with the final destination without additional handling.

Rail transport is an economical and predictable way of delivering over long distances. The container remains closed and sealed from the port to the terminal, which reduces the risk of damage and keeps the cargo in the same condition throughout.

Cocoa products by road

The own trucks of UMM Logistics provide delivery at the initial and final stages of the route. From the port or railway terminal to the consignee’s warehouse, the goods are carried in the same container, without additional handling, and delivered directly to the recipient’s address.

Delivery is agreed with the customer and the receiving party so that unloading takes place at a convenient time and the container does not stand idle. Road transport makes it possible to deliver cargo directly to its destination, including places without access to seaports and railway terminals.

Cocoa products by air

When delivery times are of the utmost importance, UMM Logistics arranges air transport of urgent and valuable cargo, including product samples and documents, coordinating it with the other stages of the logistics chain.

For Naurits, air transport is especially important for product samples and urgent documents: the customer can receive them within a few days, assess the quality and approve the order before the main lot departs.

Over many years of cooperation, UMM Logistics has proved itself a reliable and responsible partner. The company meets its obligations regardless of the season, the route and the size of the shipment – for large and small lots alike. Cocoa is a product sensitive to transport conditions, and its quality depends largely on correct placement, clean and dry containers, careful handling at terminals and adherence to agreed times. In our experience, UMM Logistics ensures that all these requirements are met. That is why we have entrusted the company with organising all our transport.

No less attention is paid to documents and customs procedures. UMM Logistics prepares transport documents, accompanies cargo in ports and terminals, works with customs brokers and keeps consignees informed of the progress of delivery. Its own equipment also allows the company to control the condition of containers: before each loading they are checked for cleanliness, dryness and integrity. This is especially important when transporting food products, including cocoa.

In its work UMM Logistics follows an open and clear approach. Schedules, rates and transport terms are agreed in advance, changes are reported in good time, and any questions that arise are resolved directly by the specialists who organise the delivery. For our customers this means less uncertainty and the ability to plan purchases, production and stock with more confidence.

For Naurits, UMM Logistics is not just a transport contractor but a key partner that ensures the entire logistics part of our work is carried out. What we agree with the customer at the time of sale, UMM Logistics implements at every stage of the route – sea, rail and road. We recommend UMM Logistics both for the transport of our products and for other logistics tasks. If necessary, Naurits customers can contact the company directly with their transport enquiries.
