Transport assets are valued at the intersection of three markets: the international market for the equipment itself (vessels and aircraft trade in global prices and currency), the local market for haulage and carriage, and the property market for logistics real estate. The Kanzas company provides independent valuation of transport and logistics businesses and their assets in Ukraine — for owners, lenders and foreign principals. Reports follow the International Valuation Standards (IVS); the team includes RICS- and TEGoVA (REV)-certified valuers.
Trucking and transport company valuation
A transport company is valued through the economics of its operations — route profitability, utilisation, contract base — together with the market value of its equipment park. We value transport and logistics businesses for lending, sale and acquisition, IFRS reporting and disputes, from a single vehicle to a complete carrier.
Aircraft, vessels and rolling stock
The practice includes an airline's aircraft park valued for lending and helicopters valued for sale; oil tankers, dry-cargo vessels and a river shipping company; and rail rolling stock — tank cars used in fuel logistics, and rail cars assessed for war damage. Equipment of this class is valued against the international market for comparable units, adjusted for age, condition and remaining life, and cross-checked against operating income — in a format acceptable to banks, including foreign ones.
Warehouses and logistics complexes
We have valued logistics complexes in Kyiv and Dnipro for lending and sale, including specialised cold-storage facilities; the geography of engagements covers Kyiv city and the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. Specialised equipment — refrigeration capacity, ramps, racking — is valued as part of the complex: it often makes the difference between an ordinary and a specialised warehouse.
Cross-border engagements
The practice includes the valuation of corporate rights in a Ukrainian logistics enterprise contributed to the charter capital of a newly established US company, with the report submitted to the US tax authorities. For clients outside Ukraine we provide business and asset valuation in line with IVS, within the scope our RICS and TEGoVA credentials permit without country-specific licensing.
Frequently asked questions
How is a vessel or aircraft valued? Against the international market for comparable equipment, adjusted for age, condition, remaining life and configuration, and reconciled with operating income.
Do you perform marine surveys or airworthiness inspections? No — surveys and certifications belong to classification societies and aviation inspections. Condition informs our analysis; we determine value.
Can a cold-storage logistics complex be valued with its equipment? Yes — specialised equipment is valued as part of the complex, and usually drives the premium over a standard warehouse.
How long does a valuation take? A single unit — days; an equipment park or logistics complex — one to several weeks, depending on the asset list and documentation.
Transport businesses do not pause their assets for a valuation — so we work to the client's rhythm, on documents, data and inspections at convenient times. Write to us by email or messenger, describe your task, and we will respond with a clear scope, timeline and fee proposal.
