Olive oil shipping

The transport of olive oil is a specialised process involving many parameters. The total cost of transporting olive oil varies depending on a number of factors. Let’s look at some of the key aspects that affect the cost:

1. Quantity: The total weight of the olive oil to be transported significantly affects the cost, as large quantities can benefit from a volume discount.
2. Type of Vehicle: Transport costs differ depending on the type of transport mode (e.g. truck, ship, plane).
3. Distance: The distance between the point of departure and the destination is one of the most determining factors for costs.
4. Packaging: Special packaging, which ensures the integrity of the olive oil during transport, may entail additional costs.
5. Insurance: Insuring the cargo for any risks during transport can add extra costs.
6. Customs Rights: In international transport, customs duties and taxes can add to the cost of transport.

It is important to plan the transport of olive oil with the help of qualified companies that know the needs and challenges of the industry to ensure the best possible price and quality of service.

Olive oil is a trademark product of our place and history while also being a product that has been used for centuries everywhere in the world. Its unique composition and its pure ingredients are those that give its excellent aroma, special taste and unique color.
All of these characteristics of olive oil are what make it very sensitive while great care is required in its storage and transportation, in order to keep the high standards of its quality.

All of us here at Spourgitis Transport, are well aware of all the conditions that are necessary to be met during the shipping process of olive oil either in short or long distances.
Initially, we undertake its packaging, and then we place it in special plastic bags and double-walled cardboard boxes, to ensure the best shipping conditions of the product while maintaining its quality specifications.

When it comes to transporting oil by plane, packaging is a critical factor. The oil must be protected from the demanding conditions of transport and from exposure to the sun in order to maintain its purity and quality.

The procedure we follow is as follows:

1. Receiving Containers: We receive the containers containing the oil from the customer.
2. First Packaging Stage: The containers are first placed inside a carton, providing an extra layer of protection.
3. Special Wooden Package: Then the carton with the oil is placed inside a wooden package, specially designed for airplane transport. The available packaging options are tailored to the quantity of oil – either 5 litres, 10 litres or 17 litres.
4. Direct Delivery: After packaging is completed, the oil is shipped directly to the customer’s door.
5. Transport Time: The transport is carried out in a minimum of time, in about 8-12 working days.
6. Transport conditions: During transportation, we make sure that the oil is kept in environmental conditions that protect it from sunlight, ensuring the unaltered quality of the olive oil.
