Cargo Handling Terminal in Yakutsk

Advantages of the Nizhny Bestyakh Cargo Handling Terminal (Yakutia)

The Malamut Trans company's terminal in the village of Nizhny Bestyakh (Republic of Sakha) is a key transport logistics hub in the northeast of the country, which significantly simplifies and reduces the cost of accumulating and sending cargo to the most remote areas of Yakutia and the Arctic.

Nizhny Bestyakh (Yakut: Alaraa Besteeh) is an urban-type settlement, the administrative center of the Megino-Kangalassky District of Yakutia. It is located 15 km from Yakutsk and 10 kilometers from the Nizhny Bestyakh railway station (the terminal railway station of the Amur-Yakutsk Mainline, 30 km from Yakutsk, 10 km from the eponymous village on the right bank of the Lena River).

What we do for you:

• Accept cargo from suppliers at the main logistics hub — mainline transport does not enter the city of Yakutsk, which saves time and money on ferry crossings;
• Perform unloading, accumulation, and consolidation of batches on the spacious terminal site;
• Repackage, relabel, and re-tar cargo in accordance with the requirements of the subsequent transportation stage (including river shipment and transport by zinkiku);
• Provide information and documentation support — from internal logistics to delivery to the recipient;
• By the day of shipment, independently form and transfer the cargo batch to the river port or the carrier nominated by the customer;
• Absence of border-customs control zone — quick and simplified access to the terminal without delays and special permits.

Yakutsk River Port (abbr. YRP) is a river port on the Lena River, the largest river port in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). It is located in the city of Yakutsk on the left bank of the Lena, 1530 km from the mouth. It plays a significant role in supplying Yakutia and other northeastern regions of Russia with economic cargo. It is one of the key links in the "northern delivery."

Additional advantages:

• Reducing the burden on the supplier: no need to coordinate batch accumulation, cargo handover, and documentation — we take care of everything;
• We work with various categories of cargo, including heavy, oversized, temperature-controlled, containerized, and dangerous goods.
