Sea Freight from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan: 20FT/40FT Full Container and LCL Shipping

Petropavlovsk (also known as Petropavl), located in the northern part of Kazakhstan, is an important industrial city near the Russian border. It is situated along the major transport routes connecting Kazakhstan to Russia, making it a significant destination for goods, especially heavy machinery parts and industrial equipment.

When shipping goods such as mechanical parts from China to Petropavlovsk, sea freight is a common and efficient option. The process usually begins with a port in Guangzhou or Shenzhen, two of China’s busiest and most well-equipped ports. From here, goods can be shipped using different options depending on the shipment volume and requirements.

Shipping Options

  1. Full Container Load (FCL)
    A full container load (FCL) is an ideal choice for large shipments. Whether you choose a 20-foot (20FT) or a 40-foot (40FT) container, this method ensures that your cargo is transported directly from the port in China to the port in Kazakhstan. Under CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) terms, the cost of shipping, insurance, and freight is included, providing a comprehensive service that covers the journey.

  2. Less-than-Container Load (LCL)
    For smaller shipments, less-than-container load (LCL) is the most cost-effective choice. In this case, goods are consolidated with other shipments in a single container, and you pay only for the space your goods occupy. While LCL may take slightly longer due to the consolidation process, it is an affordable option for smaller shipments.

Transit Time and Port Information

  • Sea Transit Time: The journey from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Petropavlovsk typically takes about 49 days. This includes the shipping leg across the ocean, and inland transport to the final destination in Kazakhstan.
  • Port of Destination: Petropavlovsk, located along the Irtysh River, has a port that handles cargo transport coming via both sea and river routes. Though the city itself is not a direct seaport for ocean freight, the cargo arrives through the ports on the Caspian Sea and is then transported via inland waterways and rail to Petropavlovsk.
