Matan Terminal

Matan Terminal, as a transport and logistics hub, has concentrated a lot of benefits necessary for international trade and logistics.
Here are the main ones:
Advantageous location at the crossroads between Asia Minor, Africa, Europe, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine.
The strategic partner of MATAN TERMINAL is the Moldova Railways. Its capabilities are available to all our customers. Including the transportation of cargoes by the Viking train.
Container hub for storage of empty container equipment.
Status of authorized economic operator in the EU and GUAM countries.
Possibility of cargo processing in closed and open storage areas.
Turnkey cargo handling, including insurance and financial services.

The benefits of the creation and operation of dry ports are:

1) Reduction of time costs for cargo transportation;
2) Reducing the cost of maintenance of transport equipment;
3) Increase of possible options for logistics and transportation;
4) Solving the issue of cargo storage and handling;
5) Providing a number of documentary and consulting services.

Dry ports can solve a whole range of transport and logistics problems. These are the main ones:

1) removal of customs clearance activities outside the rather busy territory of seaports;
2) release of seaports from the need to deal with long-term storage of goods;
3) release of city streets near seaports from a large number of trucks waiting in line to get to the port;
4) freeing the highways near the ports from traffic congestion;
5) consolidation and management of cargo flows, primarily container flows.

In modern conditions, when the volume of international trade and the number of participants in foreign economic activity have increased significantly, many ports cease to effectively cope with their functions.
The main reason for this is the congestion of terminals, which do not have enough space to receive a huge amount of cargo.
The introduction of new technologies of cargo handling and logistics can solve this problem only partly, and for many ports it is no longer an effective measure.
The solution to this problem may be the development of "dry ports", which are widely used in international practice.

What is a dry port?

A dry port or logistics hub is a multimodal logistics center with developed infrastructure that allows an owner of a cargo to use all the benefits of a seaport on land.

Dry ports are created in order to make the process of cargo transportation faster and to make it easy to deliver their products to the market. They also provide an opportunity for companies to transport their goods by truck, which is often more cost-effective than transportation by waterways.

MATAN TERMINAL is a modern dry port with an area of 3000 sq. m, which concentrates many opportunities for storage and handling of various types of cargo.
