Join us on this exciting journey and let’s grow together with GSI Logistics!
Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments are consolidated by shipping companies, combining cargo from various clients into one container. Ocean freight rates are calculated based on CBM, with cargo often routed through hubs before reaching the final destination.
CBM stands for Cubic Meter, which defines the space capacity for the transit by sea freight or air freight containers. It is a standard unit for calculating ocean freight for Loose Container Load (LCL) shipments.
To calculate CBM, you need the dimensions in centimeters of all the packages and the total number of packages for the shipment.
For a 20FT GP container, a 40FT GP container, and a 40FT HQ container, the CBM space varies based on the size of the cargo and the stuffing plan. Team GSI always guides customers to suitable options for their cargo planning.
Breakbulk cargo refers to oversized or overweight cargo that cannot be stuffed into standard containers. General cargo includes all types of cargo that do not require special conditions in transport and can be stuffed in standard-sized containers.
Yes, sea freight transport can include pre-carriage or post-carriage by road or rail to transit goods from landlocked destinations to seaports. These bonded transits can be arranged by the carrier or logistics companies.
This innovative logistics model reduces transit time and costs by consolidating cargo at a hub with fixed sailings to the final destination. It helps avoid high costs due to delays and can also dispatch cargo by feeder vessels to the hub as an option by road or rail movement for small shipments.
Full Container Load (FCL) means booking an entire container for your cargo. It is like hiring a private taxi for your shipment, where only your cargo will be transported as per your customized requirements. You pay freight charges based on the container’s size.
LCL shipments involve consolidators or shipping companies occupying an FCL from carriers and developing consolidation shipments from various clients. They sell ocean freight rates based on CBM, club cargo from various destinations, and segregate it for final destinations. Major ports often have direct services from consolidators.
Yes, it is always recommended to evaluate charges with freight forwarder companies since many consolidators are involved during transit, which can increase costs for the shipper or consignee.
The weight capacity of 20FT and 40FT dry containers varies and is subject to approval by carriers. This is an estimation and may differ based on specific cargo requirements.
Yes, sea freight is the most economical mode of transport with exceptions for very small shipments that may be better suited for courier or air freight, small distances where road or rail transport is cheaper, multiple transit hubs that can increase costs and time for small shipments, and time-critical shipments requiring careful planning.
Applicable origin and destination charges are involved along with sea freight. These charges, which can be prepaid or collected, are charged based on Incoterms and should be evaluated with logistics companies.
Sea freight should be avoided in cases of time-critical shipments, restrictions by state or war zones, small shipments better suited for air or courier modes, and perishable cargo in LCL shipments.
Dry containers, also known as GP or General Product containers, are the most commonly used for transporting goods.
