Regular container shipments
If you send the same product to the same region at regular intervals, for example every week or every month, these shipments fall under regular (recurring) container shipping. We plan your recurring shipments on the regular line services from Marport and set up your shipment calendar together with you on the current line programme. A one-off large shipment is not recurring; for that we quote a standard FCL shipment.
Logistics planning
We plan the route, calendar and tracking of your shipments and report on them. We decide the container type, the loading point and the delivery point with you, and tell you when something changes.
FCL and LCL
If your cargo fills a container it is planned as FCL (full container load); if it does not, it can be planned as partial load (LCL). FCL and LCL options and the frequency of LCL services are confirmed at the quotation stage.
Heavy and out-of-gauge cargo
Heavy, large and out-of-gauge cargo that does not fit a standard container, such as machinery, plant equipment and construction machinery, is planned as project cargo, separate from the regular container flow. The equipment, for example flat rack, open top or low-bed, is chosen according to the size and weight of the cargo.
