What Stivtrans does

Stivtrans OÜ is an Estonian private limited company founded in 1996 that provides end-to-end multimodal logistics services with a maritime focus. Its service portfolio spans eight modules — forwarding, chartering, ship's agency, trucking, railway, stevedoring, insurance, and survey — delivered through an owned transport ecosystem of trucks, railway cars, and ships. The firm serves project-cargo clients in two primary verticals: industrial and construction (concrete elements and modular houses shipped from the Baltics to EU and Scandinavia) and timber and forest products (Baltic-to-EU/UK lanes plus a Russia-to-EU timber corridor).

The company operates a direct B2B distribution model via enterprise field sales, targeting corporate clients requiring oversized or complex cargo that demands multimodal handling across sea, road, and rail. Revenue is generated through transaction-based service fees for freight forwarding, vessel chartering, stevedoring, and related port and insurance operations; pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. The firm is headquartered in Viimsi, Estonia, and holds Estonian Chamber of Commerce membership and CreditInfo verified-business status as trust signals for cross-border counterparties.

There is no public information on headcount, revenue, ownership structure, management team, or funding. The business operates in a fragmented Baltic/Scandinavian freight forwarding market, differentiated primarily by its owned multimodal fleet, 28 years of operating history, and demonstrated ability to handle project cargo across sanctioned and non-sanctioned jurisdictions. Strategic visibility is constrained by the absence of disclosed financials, named customers, or recent dated strategic announcements beyond the founding date and 2022-2023 credential acquisitions.
