Dangerous and Hazardous air cargo
Air dangerous goods transportation is controlled by a variety of different regulatory regimes include UN recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods. These regulatory regimes mandate the means by which dangerous goods are to be handled, packed, labelled and transported.
Classification of dangerous goods is broken down into nine classes according to the type of danger materials.
If we understand exactly what you need to have transported and to which class the dangerous goods belongs. Then we need to determine quantity limits, packaging, labeling, documentation, and modes of transport.
Overall, there are nine classes of dangerous goods, which can be liquids, solids, or gasses. The nine classes of dangerous goods are:
Class 1: Explosives
Class 2: Gases
Class 3: Flammable liquids
Class 4: Flammable solids and substances liable to spontaneously combust or emit flammable gasses
Class 5: Oxidizing agents & organic peroxides
Class 6: Toxins & infectious substances
Class 7: Radioactive material
Class 8: Corrosives
Class 9: Miscellaneous
Their classification depends on whether they are, e.g., explosive, radioactive, toxic or flammable – and, of course, how significant a hazard they represent.
Don’t get lost in rules and regulations. Let us guide you. We can assist with all necessary clearances, overflight permissions, and everything in between.
Inspections & Surveys
Certain consignments require local inspections and surveys by the local representatives. Whether it is a routine check or not, either way- Barrco Logistics is able to provide you with specialists in the field. Depending on the survey you require, we appoint the right expect to assess and evaluate your cargo.
Global Groupage
If you plan to transport cargo with a volume that is LESS than container load (LCL), we can provide you with the best solution! A cost saving option that combines your cargo within a regular groupage service. In other words, your cargo would be loaded on a container with other shipping consignments heading to the same destination. This way you would be able to transport your cargo in an eco-friendly way, with reduced costs and in due time! This service is most efficient if you have cargo coming from various suppliers whose final destination is the same. Our “smart container” deal is the ultimate innovation to move small volumes at reduced costs.
Claims Handling
The transportation industry is one of the most volatile markets: metaphorically and per se. Considering the amount of operations involved in a door-to-door transportation, the amount of people getting in contact with the cargo and the time spent on-route, the risks of occurring incidents are relatively high.
We understand how stressful claims handling may become. At Barrco Logistics, we take that burden off and further assist our clients throughout the claims handling process. We cover and maintain all correspondence with the shippers, consignees and carriers, aiming to mediate and get the most positive outcome for our client. Claims handling refer to various aspects and circumstances deemed relevant to establish causation and materiality. A favorable outcome would be ultimately assessed by our experienced staff, who would be your eyes and ears throughout the case.
No matter how crucial the situation is, we know that time is of the essence and will proceed accordingly. Our team would deal with these matters at their best capacity. However, there are certain circumstances or events that would need the involvement of third parties such as lawyers, arbitrators, investigators and police. Our liability is limited to our capacity to solve matters internally via correspondence.
Stevedoring
We operate significant amounts of cargo on a weekly basis via our group-partners. We provide a wide spectrum of stevedoring services, including all types of cargo:
Network design and optimization

Our customers benefit from robust supply chains that are responsive and flexible; from transport to warehousing, procurement strategy consultation to packaging management, we optimize every aspect of your supply chain.
