Ocean freight forwarding to and from Ukraine

Ocean freight forwarding to Ukraine, handled end to end

For over 15 years NOVALOG UKRAINE has moved ocean freight to and from Ukraine for manufacturers, traders and project shippers across the USA, Europe and Asia. We are a fully licensed and bonded freight forwarder with our own container terminal in Odesa, which means the vessel booking, the Black Sea routing, the customs clearance and the terminal handling all sit with one accountable team — not a chain of brokers passing your container between them.

Ocean is the backbone of trade with Ukraine, and since 2022 it has also become the part of the supply chain that rewards experience most. The country's Black Sea maritime corridor — the coastal lane linking the Greater Odesa ports with Romania's Constanța and the Bosphorus — now carries the large majority of Ukraine's seaborne cargo. The Greater Odesa ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi handle roughly 89–94% of the country's seaborne exports and processed more than 82 million tonnes of cargo in 2025. Moving freight through them safely takes a forwarder who plans for disruption and insures every leg.

Container shipping from the USA, Europe and Asia

We book and route container shipping to Ukraine on the lanes our customers use most: from the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Savannah), from Europe (Antwerp, Rotterdam, Hamburg and Genoa) and from Asia (Shanghai and Ningbo). Whether you ship a single full container or consolidate less-than-container-load cargo into a shared box, we secure vessel space with the lines, transship efficiently and keep you updated at every milestone.

Because we run our own 3,799 m² terminal in Odesa with two 50-tonne gantry cranes, 380 V reefer power and secure storage, your cargo arrives into a facility we control — not a third-party yard where visibility ends at the gate. That is also what lets us handle the awkward loads, from reefers to out-of-gauge cargo on flat racks, that standard ocean networks decline.

One team for booking, clearance and delivery

Every ocean booking with NOVALOG includes the parts that usually go wrong when they are split between vendors. Our nationally licensed, in-house customs broker clears import and export cargo. We arrange war-risk marine insurance on every voyage. And we plan multimodal backups — rail, road and the Danube river ports — so a single disrupted sea call does not strand your shipment. From the first quote to final delivery, you deal with people who know your cargo.

Tell us your lane, your Incoterms (FOB, CFR, DAP or DDP) and the cargo detail you have, and we will come back with all-in pricing, a realistic transit window and clear terms within one business day.
