Transshipment

Transshipment involves transferring goods from one vessel or mode of transport to another during their journey from origin to final destination. It consolidates shipments and complies with trade routes.

Examples include:

• Offloading containers from a ship to a truck at a port.
• Switching cargo from a train to a plane at a logistics hub.
• Moving parcels from one delivery vehicle to another at a distribution center.

Transshipment is common in locations like Singapore, Dubai, and Rotterdam.
