Today, as international trade develops at a rapid pace, efficient and secure logistics solutions have become a critical requirement for every business. Sea freight is considered one of the most widespread and cost-effective methods. Although Armenia is a landlocked country, it can efficiently organize competitive sea freight shipments to and from the country through regional ports.
Why Choose Sea Freight
Sea routes offer several key advantages:
-
Cost savings: Sea routes are significantly more affordable than air transport.
-
Large volume transport: Ships can carry hundreds of containers at once.
-
Global accessibility: Seaports connect international markets.
For this reason, sea freight is especially suitable for companies that import or export large volumes of goods, such as construction materials, automotive parts, raw materials, or consumer products.
Cargo Packaging: The Key to Safety Choosing Sea Freight
Goods shipped by sea freight often travel long distances, making proper packaging essential.
Correct packaging protects goods from:
-
Moisture and weather conditions
-
Prolonged vibrations and movements
-
Possible damage during unloading
CLT offers packaging services that meet international standards to ensure your cargo arrives in Armenia safely and undamaged.
Bandar Abbas Port: A Gateway to the Middle East Sea Freight
For Armenia, the Bandar Abbas port in southern Iran holds special importance. It is one of the largest ports in the region and serves as a key hub for trade with China and Middle Eastern countries.
Sea freight from Bandar Abbas allows for efficient shipments from China, India, and beyond, with the cargo then transported overland to Armenia.
Poti Port: Gateway to Europe for Sea Freight
Georgia’s Poti port is Armenia’s main entry point for goods from Europe. Cargo from European countries usually arrives at Poti and is then transported to Armenia by truck.
This sea freight route is especially suitable for:
-
Industrial equipment
-
Automobiles
-
Large and bulk goods
CLT handles cargo reception, storage, and customs clearance from Poti port all the way to Armenia.
Multimodal Solutions: Sea Freight and Land Transport
Since sea routes usually take longer, multimodal solutions are often applied. This means the cargo is first loaded onto a ship, then quickly transported overland from Bandar Abbas or Poti port.
This approach combines two advantages:
-
Cost savings
-
Optimized delivery times
Export Opportunities via Sea Freight
For Armenian businesses, sea routes offer enormous potential not only for imports but also for exports. Local producers, whether of mineral raw materials or finished products, can enter international markets through sea freight.
For example, Armenian dried fruits, textiles, and light industry products are in high demand abroad. These goods can be shipped safely and cost-effectively to Europe via Poti port or to China and India via Bandar Abbas port.
When organizing exports, proper cargo packaging remains crucial to preserve product quality and comply with international standards.
CLT leverages its experience and international partnerships to support Armenian producers, providing not only sea freight services but also a complete export chain—from customs documentation to delivery to the buyer’s warehouse.
Thus, sea routes become a reliable bridge for Armenia to access international markets, not just a solution for imports.
