GrainEx is a full-service freight forwarder operating the Black Sea corridor.

The business runs in two arms — marine agency and logistics. Logistics coordinates origin-to-destination shipments: rented rail and road from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, China and the wider CIS, vessel handling at Poti and Batumi, customs, and final delivery into Europe and the Americas. Agency handles vessel berthing, port-call documentation and port-authority liaison. Same group, same file.

Formerly MT Group. New name, same crews, same berths, same accountability.

02 / Services

End-to-end freight forwarding.

One contract from origin to destination. Six supporting operations — rail, road, vessel, agency, customs, storage — sit underneath, but the customer signs once.

01

Vessel loading & unloading

Bulk, break-bulk and container handling at Poti and Batumi. Pneumatic and grab discharge, surveyor coordination, draft surveys, on-deck supervision through the full operation.

Black Sea
24/7
02

In-port cargo movement

Quay-to-silo, silo-to-truck, silo-to-rail. Continuous shifts, weighbridge integration, zero rehandle for high-grade lots that cannot lose their certification chain.

Terminal

03

International rail & road

Owned fleet plus 150+ contracted trucks, with rented rail capacity from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and China. Daily convoys into Yerevan, Baku, Aktau, Trabzon and the Erzurum corridor — bonded, GPS-tracked, single dispatcher per route.

04

Marine agency

Vessel berthing coordination at Poti and Batumi, port-call legal documentation, permitting and port-authority liaison. ISPS-compliant throughout. The agency arm runs in parallel with logistics so the same file follows the cargo.

ISPS · Berthing
05

Customs & import / export

Brokerage, phyto and quality certification, transit documentation across GE, AZ, AM, UZ, KZ, TR, CN, the EU and the US. Filed, paid, cleared — usually before the vessel finishes berthing.

Bulk & cargo storage

Two facilities in operation — a 7,000 t soya-meal store and a newly commissioned 20,000 t bulk facility, with open-yard and bonded warehousing for containers and break-bulk. Coal handled in segregated bays to avoid cross-contamination with food-grade cargoes.
