Cargo handling, storage and warehousing
We provide handling and storage services for general cargo, Ro-Ro and bulk cargo, containers, non-hazardous liquid cargo, as well as hazardous cargo classified as Class 4, Subclass 4.1 “Flammable Solids” and Class 5, Subclass 5.1 “Oxidizing Substances” in accordance with the classification of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Dedicated areas have been developed for the handling of glass, fertilizers, and value-added services, tailored to the specific characteristics of each type of cargo.
In our operations, we utilize high-quality lifting and cargo handling equipment from established manufacturers such as Peiner Smag and Verstegen, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and safety in all port activities. All systems and equipment used comply with the applicable international safety and quality standards. General cargo is handled using a wide range of lifting and transport machinery and specialized cargo handling attachments, including forklifts, wheel loaders, cranes, and equipment specifically selected according to the characteristics of the respective cargo. Within the warehouse areas, dedicated sections are arranged for the handling and storage of glass, metals, and fertilizers, with specific technological solutions applied to each cargo group to ensure safety, cargo integrity, and high operational efficiency. Full operational transparency is ensured through the Poseidon Terminal Operating System, which provides clients with up-to-date information and real-time traceability of their cargo.
All port warehouses are duly registered and operate in compliance with the applicable customs legislation under the “temporary storage” and “customs warehousing” regimes, with the required guarantees maintained for each regime. The storage facilities meet all regulatory requirements related to security, monitoring, control, and cargo flow traceability.
The enclosed bulk cargo warehouses are registered with the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency (BFSA) and are designed for high-density storage. Depending on the characteristics of the cargo and its natural angle of repose, stacking heights may reach up to 8–9 meters. Floor surfaces and structural elements are designed in accordance with load-bearing requirements, surface roughness, and wear resistance standards arising from the nature of the stored materials and the handling equipment used.
All covered and open storage areas are equipped with modern video surveillance systems integrated into a central monitoring center. The system enables the provision of personalized client access, allowing customers to monitor the storage and handling of their own cargo in real time.
