Universal Forwarder expands the geography of its shipping agency services

Since 2026, Universal Forwarder LLC (part of the First Port Company) has been providing direct agency handling of the fleet in the port of Taman in the Azov-Black Sea basin on a permanent basis.


The Port of Taman is one of the youngest and most actively developed ports in southern Russia. The first vessel called here in 2008. Currently, the port has four marine cargo terminals with a combined throughput capacity of over 100 million tons of liquid, bulk, and general cargo. Shipping agent OOO "Universal Forwarder" provides a wide range of services for vessel calls at the port. The company organizes vessel berthing, towing and mooring operations, conducts state inspections, caters for vessel and crew needs at the request of the captain and shipowner, handles shipping documents, and acts as a payment agent for port dues and other expenses.

"Our main goal as a shipping agent is to save our clients time and money on vessel handling and port formalities," explains Irina Davidyan, CEO of Universal Forwarder LLC. "We have 16 years of continuous experience in Russian ports on the Baltic, Azov, and Black Seas. We understand the port customs and regional specifics, and we have the expertise to handle vessel calls of any complexity, regardless of vessel size, cargo characteristics, or type of cargo handling operations."

 

During the TransRussia 2026 exhibition, the First Port Company stand (B5123, Pavilion 3, Hall 14) will offer detailed information and professional advice from experts on ship agency services in seaports.
