What does it mean?

Ocean freight in which separate shipments share container capacity. Cargo is consolidated before sailing and separated at destination, so handling stages and receiving deadlines matter alongside the sea transit.

In practice

Three pallets travel in a container alongside compatible shipments from other customers.

Before requesting a quote

For ocean freight, the space your cargo occupies and the receiving schedule influence the shipping arrangement. Confirm whether you need shared or dedicated container capacity, and specify if your request covers the ports only or also pickup and final delivery. Packaging and stackability help define the handling required.

  • Total package count, dimensions and gross weight
  • Pickup and delivery locations or named ports
  • Cargo ready date, stackability and any special handling
