Flexible Terminal Solutions for
Different Cargo Types
PLP handles a wide range of cargo moving through Poti, Georgia — including containers, vehicles, palletized cargo, general cargo, big bags, warehouse cargo, oversized cargo, and special cargo subject to prior confirmation.
Our terminal is designed to support different cargo flows with handling, storage, customs-controlled operations, warehousing, cross-docking, inspection assistance, documentation support, and onward delivery coordination.
Cargo handling adapted to your shipment
Every cargo type has different requirements. Containers need lift-on/lift-off and yard planning. Vehicles need secure storage and careful movement. Palletized cargo may require unloading, sorting, labeling, or warehousing. Oversized cargo requires special planning, equipment review, and safe positioning.
PLP reviews each cargo flow based on cargo type, size, weight, packaging, customs status, storage needs, handling method, safety requirements, and onward transport plan.
This allows us to offer practical terminal solutions for standard cargo, commercial shipments, industrial goods, vehicle logistics, project cargo, and special cargo that needs additional operational attention.
