Regular container shipments
If you send the same product to Shekou 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 that call at Shekou 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.
Shekou and the Far East direction
We can plan your shipments to Shekou (China) together with your other shipments in the Far East direction. We decide the suitable port of discharge with you according to your delivery point.
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 route and equipment, for example flat rack, open top or low-bed, are chosen according to the size, weight and centre of gravity of the cargo.
