Safe, cost-focused raw material supply logistics aligned with your production plan: from the Far East, Europe and the Middle East to your factory.

Raw material logistics is one of the most critical links in the supply chain. A delayed raw material shipment can stop a production line, while incorrect packaging or stowage can lead to product loss. Wislog Lojistik plans manufacturers’ raw material supply in line with their production schedules.

We import raw materials from Far East ports by FCL and LCL container, and from Europe and the Middle East by full truckload or groupage truck. For cargo in big bags, sacks, IBC tanks, drums and palletised packaging, we select the right equipment and check in-container securing and weight distribution.

For hazardous chemical raw materials, ADR and IMDG rules are observed; for raw materials destined for the food and cosmetics sectors, equipment suitability is checked against cleanliness and contamination risks. We complete the process with domestic transfer from the port of arrival to your factory and, where required, storage in a bonded warehouse.

Frequently asked questions

Can big bags be shipped in containers?

Yes. Big bags (FIBC) can be carried in 20’ and 40’ containers with proper securing and weight distribution. For dense, heavy raw materials, 20’ containers are usually preferred.

How much weight can be loaded into a 20’ container?

The maximum payload of a standard 20’ container is generally around 25–28 tonnes; however, the usable payload varies by route due to road weight limits and port regulations.

Can a bonded warehouse be used for raw material imports?

Yes. Imported raw materials can be held in a bonded warehouse without paying customs duties and released for free circulation in partial quantities as needed. This offers a significant cash flow advantage.

For every transport mode and cargo type, we have summarised our processes, the benefits and the key points to consider.

Transport Modes

International Sea Freight

Sea freight is the most economical option for high-volume, long-distance cargo. We manage the entire process — from freight booking and port operations to container tracking and delivery at the port of destination. Our strong line connections support Far East imports and Mediterranean–Gulf exports.

FCL and LCL Container Shipping

If your cargo fills a container, FCL gives you a container dedicated solely to your shipment; for smaller volumes, LCL means you pay only for the space you use. We move your full and part container loads from Far East ports and Europe on regular sailings.

International Road Freight

Road freight is the most flexible way to deliver door to door. We run regular shipments to Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania and the Baltic states, carrying your cargo safely with curtainsider, mega trailer and ADR-equipped vehicle options.

Full Truckload and Groupage Trucking

If your cargo fills a truck, we offer fast, direct full truckload transport with no transhipment; for loads of just a few pallets, we provide a cost-effective part load solution. We run regular shipments on routes to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, France and Albania.

International Air Freight

For urgent production parts and high-value goods, air freight turns time into an advantage. We organise your exports departing from Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen airports, as well as your imports from around the world, in line with IATA rules.

Domestic Road Transport in Türkiye

We provide full truckload and part load road transport across Türkiye, connecting factories, warehouses, ports and bonded warehouses. We manage the movement of your export cargo to the port and your import cargo from the port to your warehouse, fully integrated with your international operations.

Cross-Trade (Third-Country) Shipping

Goods you buy in the Far East, Europe or the Americas can be shipped straight to Libya, Lebanon, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Italy or France without a detour through Türkiye. We manage freight, documentation and customs coordination from a single desk and protect commercial confidentiality between your supplier and your buyer.

Specialist Cargo

Chemical and Dangerous Goods Transport

We specialise in hazardous cargo such as chemical raw materials, aerosols, flammable liquids and corrosive products. With correct classification, packaging, labelling, documentation and equipment, we deliver fully compliant transport by road, sea and air.

Cosmetics, Deodorant and Detergent Transport

Aerosol products such as deodorants and perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products, and liquid and powder detergents all need specific planning — both because of dangerous goods rules and because they are easily damaged. We bring experience of regular shipments in these product groups to European, Middle Eastern and African markets.

Furniture Transport

We carry Türkiye’s strong furniture exports to European, Middle Eastern and African markets. For bulky, fragile furniture with delicate surfaces, we aim for damage-free delivery through the right vehicle, careful stowage and protective packaging.

Machinery and Project Cargo Transport

Production lines, CNC machines, generators, steel structures and out-of-gauge equipment require route surveys, special equipment and lifting plans. We plan your machinery and project cargo from loading after dismantling through to delivery on site.

Open Top and Flat Rack Container Shipping

We use open top containers for cargo that does not fit a standard container or needs top loading, and flat rack containers for cargo requiring side loading or exceeding standard dimensions. For tarpaulin-covered open container loads, we manage securing and protection planning end to end.

Warehousing & Bonded Storage

Warehousing Services

By combining transport with warehousing, we make your supply chain more flexible. In warehouses in Türkiye and, through our partners, around the world, we provide short- and long-term storage, handling, palletising, labelling and shipment preparation services.

Bonded Warehouse and Customs Storage Services

You can hold imported goods in a bonded warehouse without paying customs duties and fees, release them for free circulation in partial quantities as needed, or re-export them. We manage your bonded warehouse processes together with transport and customs coordination.

Cargo Collection and Consolidation Services

We bring together the products you buy from multiple suppliers — in different countries or within the same country — at collection warehouses, inspect them and combine them into a single container or truck shipment. This lowers your freight costs and reduces your documentation and tracking workload.
