Mongolia Consignment

Multimodal Sea-to-Rail Freight to Mongolia

Shipping to landlocked Mongolia requires multimodal coordination. The primary routing begins with ocean freight arrivals at the Port of Tianjin (Xingang), China, followed by block train rail transport northbound across the border to Ulaanbaatar.

At Scan2Freight, we manage the entire corridor: ocean transport, Chinese rail transit clearances, and Mongolian customs declarations at the border.

Maritime Seaports Directory

We operate sea-to-rail transit hubs across major North East Asian ports:

• Port of Tianjin (Xingang, China): The primary sea gateway. We operate a dedicated transit transshipment terminal inside the Xingang port yard, expediting loading onto block trains.
• Port of Qingdao (China): Secondary gateway, utilized when Tianjin rail yards experience rail wagon shortages or winter congestion.
• Port of Dalian (China): Heavy project cargo gateway, frequently utilized for mining machinery bound for Southern Gobi and Eastern Mongolian mining sites.
• Port of Vladivostok (Russia): Northern maritime route, linking North Pacific cargo to the Trans-Siberian Railway directly into Ulaanbaatar from Russia.

International Airports Directory

For high-value or time-sensitive cargo, we route air freight via key hub airports:

• Chinggis Khaan International (UBN, Ulaanbaatar): Mongolia's primary international airport terminal, equipped with cargo handling areas for wide-body freighters.
• Beijing Capital (PEK) & Daxing (PKX) (Beijing, China): Key transit airports. Air cargo is consolidated here before final short-haul flight legs to Ulaanbaatar.
• Seoul Incheon International (ICN, South Korea): The largest East Asian air transit center, linking global flights directly to Ulaanbaatar cargo routes.

Key Corridor Operations

Transit logs along this overland route are characterized by specific technical steps:

• Port Transfer: Unloading containers at Tianjin and shifting them onto rail wagons under Chinese transit custom bonds.
• Gauge Changing: Transitioning container boxes between standard rail tracks (China) and broad-gauge tracks (Mongolia) at the border.
• Dry Port Customs: Final destination cargo deconsolidation and import customs release at Ulaanbaatar terminal stations.
