Continental Cargo OÜ

What Continental Cargo OÜ does

Continental Cargo OÜ is an Estonian private limited company (OÜ) founded in 2005 and headquartered at Priisle tee 16-4, Tallinn. It operates as an international freight forwarder arranging multimodal cargo transportation by road, sea and air, with a primary trade lane focused on goods moving from China into Europe and the Baltic States. The company is led by Executive Director (Tegevjuht) Andrei Lepihhin and Logistician Vera Kuklina, with only these two staff explicitly named in source material. Continental Cargo is a member of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and presents itself bilingually across Estonian, Russian and English markets.

The company's core technology is not a software platform but a contractual carrier and warehouse aggregation layer: it holds rate agreements with leading container lines (Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, Evergreen, Cosco, APL, Yang Ming, ONE), air carriers (Lufthansa, Finnair, AirBridgeCargo, China Airlines), an XL Catlin cargo insurance policy, and a warehouse network spanning Asia, North America and Europe (including Germany and the Baltic States) with consolidation, cold storage and hazardous-cargo capabilities. The product surface is organized around three core transport products — road freight, sea freight (FCL and LCL) and air freight (1–7 day transit to 100+ destinations) — supported by add-on modules for customs brokerage, cargo insurance, warehouse logistics, cargo labeling and an online cost estimation tool. There is no proprietary software, mobile app, public API or SDK; customer engagement runs through a multilingual marketing website (cocargo.ee), an online quote form and direct sales.

Commercially, Continental Cargo generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on freight forwarding and through professional service fees on bundled logistics outsourcing, customs brokerage, insurance brokerage and warehouse/labeling services. Pricing is fully custom and quote-based — driven by cargo weight, dimensions, origin/destination, hazard class, packaging and temperature requirements — with no public rate card. The go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-oriented, targeting import/export companies, manufacturers and retailers, and global trade firms needing China-Europe/Baltics freight; the company positions itself as a transparent, full-invoice-visible alternative to an in-house logistics function. No funding rounds, institutional investors, M&A, or disclosed financial metrics appear in the source data.

Broad incumbents

• DB Schenker: DB Schenker is a global logistics provider with road, air, and ocean freight forwarding plus contract logistics. Directly comparable service portfolio to Continental Cargo; has an established Estonian/Baltic subsidiary that competes in the same regional market.
• DHL Global Forwarding: DHL Global Forwarding is the freight forwarding arm of Deutsche Post DHL, providing air, ocean, and road freight plus customs and supply chain solutions. Comparable in multimodal forwarding scope; competes in the Estonian/Baltic market with established infrastructure.
• CEVA Logistics: CEVA Logistics is a global supply chain operator offering freight management, contract logistics, and customs services. Comparable multimodal forwarding and customs offering; significantly larger with global contract logistics capability Continental Cargo does not have.
• DSV: DSV is one of the world's largest freight forwarders with full multimodal road, sea, and air services plus a strong Baltic and European presence. Comparable to Continental Cargo in service mix (multimodal forwarding, customs, warehousing) but operates at global scale as a broad incumbent.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Kuehne+Nagel is a global top-3 freight forwarder offering integrated road, sea, and air forwarding with customs, contract logistics, and insurance solutions. Overlaps with Continental Cargo across the full multimodal stack but operates at vastly greater scale across all geographies including the Baltics.

Regional players

• ACE Logistics Estonia: ACE Logistics is an Estonian-headquartered freight forwarder offering road, sea, and air transport plus customs brokerage and warehousing. Closely comparable in size, geography, and service mix to Continental Cargo and a direct competitor in the Estonian/Baltic market.

Emerging players

• Flexport: Flexport is a digital-native freight forwarder offering ocean, air, and trucking with API-integrated quoting, booking, and visibility. Directly comparable business model (multimodal forwarding for importers/exporters) but differentiated by a software platform rather than the traditional model Continental Cargo operates.

Direct peers
