China–Georgia Freight via Poti: FCL, LCL & Reefer
Yihang Shipping forwards ocean FCL, ocean LCL, and reefer containers from China to Georgia. Poti is the usual container gate. Batumi is quoted when the consignee or the rotation uses that port instead. Cargo from Dalian connects by feeder onto a deep-sea vessel, then often onto a Black Sea feeder. The quote names those legs. Setpoint and ventilation belong on the first inquiry when the box is a reefer. Yihang is not the Georgian importer.

Windows below are how the trade plans the move. They are not a Yihang booking.
| Mode | Planning window | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Ocean FCL | Deep-sea plus a Black Sea feeder into Poti or Batumi. From Dalian, add the first feeder in China. | Full containers, including a single 20-foot reefer. |
| Ocean LCL | Only when a consolidator on that week accepts Georgia discharge. Often slower than a dedicated box. | Small stackable lots. Not the default for reefer. |
| Air freight | Into Tbilisi when the sea connection misses the date. Pickup and release still have to be counted. | Urgent parts and samples. |

What goes wrong on this lane
Poti and Batumi were swapped
They are both Georgian ports. They are not the same terminal or the same truck to Tbilisi. A Poti rate does not discharge at Batumi.
A reefer was booked as a dry box
A refrigerated container needs the setpoint, the commodity, and confirmation that the vessel and the Poti or Batumi terminal will plug it in. A dry rate does not cover that.
The Black Sea feeder was missing from the rate
Most China–Georgia containers change vessel at least once. A rate to a Mediterranean or other hub is not a Poti arrival until the feeder and the destination charges are written on the quote.
Dalian was priced as a direct sailing
Dalian cargo feeds a mainline port before the long leg. That cutoff is part of the plan from the day the factory is ready.
What to send
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Commodity, and the setpoint if it is reefer
- Weight and container type, including 20-foot reefer when that is the box
- Load port in China and Poti, Batumi, or the inland city
- Incoterm and cargo-ready date

Questions shippers ask
Can you ship a reefer from Dalian to Poti?
Yes, when a carrier accepts the reefer on that rotation. Send the commodity, setpoint, container size, and ready date. The quote names the feeder out of Dalian and the Black Sea connection into Poti. Plug-in at the terminal is confirmed before the booking, not after the box is stuffed.
Poti or Batumi?
Poti is the default container request. Batumi is a separate port. Send the consignee’s port or the city in Georgia and the desk picks the gate that matches the truck leg.
Is Georgia the same file as Russia or Europe?
No. Russia and Central Asia are quoted on the rail lane. Europe is quoted to North Europe ports or on China–Europe rail. Georgia on this page is Poti or Batumi.
Do you publish a transit time to Poti?
No. The connection changes with the load port and the week. The quote states the routing. A blog average is not a booked transit.
Who clears the cargo in Georgia?
China export clearance is on Yihang’s file. Georgian import is filed for the consignee. Yihang is not the Georgian importer.
