Bulk cargo is a method of transportation in which goods from different shippers are transported in one container or other cargo unit. These goods can be delivered either to the same destination or to different destinations. In international trade, this method of delivery is widespread, as it allows optimizing logistics costs for small shipments. Let's take a look at the main pros and cons of this method of transportation. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Advantages of prefabricated freight transportation
The main advantage of prefabricated shipping is the ability to save money on shipping if your shipment is not large enough to fill an entire container. Instead of paying to ship a container with extra space, you can join a consolidated shipment and only pay for the cubic meters or weight of the shipment used.
Shipping small quantities of goods is beneficial for both suppliers and retailers, as it avoids the need to maintain large inventories. Bulk shipments help optimize operational and warehousing costs.
The tight packing of a container with a consolidated shipment reduces the risk of chaotic movement of goods during handling and transportation, which reduces the likelihood of damage. If there is space inside the container and the shipment is not stacked correctly, it can be damaged.
Disadvantages of prefabricated trucking
There is a possibility of longer delivery times if the consolidator takes a lot of time to fill the container with goods from different shippers. To avoid this, choose operators with regular service and a steady flow of customers.
If one of the shipments in a prefabricated container is delayed at customs, it can affect the entire shipment, including your goods.
Not all goods can be shipped together in the same container. For example, if you are shipping detergents, cosmetics, chemicals, food products, it may be more difficult or impossible for you to join a prefabricated shipment.
