Shipping Services in Moldova: What Methods Are Used in Current Conditions?
When transporting to Moldova, careful route planning is required due to the current regional situation. Each method has its own advantages.
Shipping to Moldova by road
Road transport is the most common method in the Moldovan transport sector. As Fatih Group Logistics, we organize safe flights from Turkey to Moldova with our latest model Mercedes TIR fleet.
Route planning is done according to current conditions. Due to the Ukraine-Russia war, some routes became unusable, but we developed alternative routes. Our main route is via Romania - Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova. This route is safe and efficient. Routes passing through Ukraine are not preferred under current conditions, our safety priority. The Romanian-Moldovan border is calm and orderly, customs procedures are proceeding smoothly.
The road transport time from Turkey to Moldova is usually between 5-7 days. We provide transportation around 5-6 days to Chisinau and 6-7 days to Bălți-. With our GPS-tracked vehicles, you can see where your cargo is at any time. Our customers find this tracking system very valuable, especially in current conditions.
One of our food products supplier customers recently, the products we sent for our customer in -Kişinev- arrived just in time. Despite the difficulties in the region, Fatih Group found a safe route and made smooth deliveries. Such feedback shows the value of our flexible planning and experience. In Moldova transportation, it is critical to follow the current situation closely and to produce alternative solutions. Our team does this very well.
The biggest advantage in road transport is that we can offer door-to-door service and flexible route options. Construction materials, food products, textiles, white goods - we can carry all kinds of loads safely. The fact that Moldova is an EU candidate country is a sign that trade relations will become stronger in the future.
Shipping to Moldova by Airline
Air transport is an option for urgent shipments. Chisinau Airport's cargo capacity is limited, but it can still be used for small and urgent shipments. Especially for urgent shipments such as medical supplies, spare parts, documents, airlines can be preferred.
Due to the weather conditions in the region, airline routes also require up-to-date follow-up. As Fatih Group, we provide safe air cargo connections and inform our customers about the most up-to-date situations.
Moldova Shipping by Sea (Alternative Route)
Although Moldova is a landlocked country, the sea route may be an alternative option. The cargo is sent to the Romanian port of Konstanca, from where it is transported by road to Moldova. For large volume loads, this combined transportation can be economical.
From Turkey- to Konstanca-ya sea route 3-5 days, from there Moldova-ya highway 1-2 days - delivery is possible in a total of 6-8 days. This option makes sense, especially for container loads.
Effects of the Ukraine-Russia War on Moldovan Transport
The Ukraine-Russia war has seriously affected Eastern European logistics since 2022. This has also directly affected the Moldovan transport sector.
In the past, routes through Ukraine have become unusable. Roads passing near the war zone pose a security risk, insurance companies do not cover these routes. For this reason, logistics companies had to develop alternative routes.
The Romanian route stood out as the main alternative. The Turkey-Bulgaria-Romania-Moldova route is safe and efficient. This route can take a little longer (formerly 4-5 days via Ukraine, now 5-7 days) but it is the best option in terms of security. The cost has also increased slightly because the distance has been extended, but customers accept this cost for safety.
Insurance premiums were also affected. Insurance companies are more careful when shipping cargo to Eastern Europe, premiums %Increased by 20-30. But insurance is absolutely essential - sending uninsured cargo due to uncertainties in the region is a big risk.
Fuel prices were also affected by the war. Fluctuations in oil and gas prices are reflected in transportation costs. As Fatih Group, we try to minimize these fluctuations and offer the best prices to our customers.
An important point: Moldova itself is not involved in the war, the country is safe. The problem is the transport routes. Safe transportation to Moldova-ya is completely possible with the right route selection and experienced logistics partner. With 18 years of experience, we find the safest route in all conditions.
