Air And Sea Transhipment

Transhipment is the shipment of goods or container to an intermedi ate destination, and then from there to yet another destination. The possible reasons for transshipment is to change the means of trans port during the journey (for e.g. from ship transport to road trans port), which is known as trans loading. Another reason could be to combine small shipments into a large shipment, dividing the large shipment at the other end.
 

Our air transhipment services includes CN38, Handling, Re-Docs and Re-packing.

Sea and air transshipment services provide a strategic solution for transporting goods efficiently, combining the advantages of both sea and air freight. 

Here are general advantages of using sea and air transshipment services:

Cost-Efficiency: Sea and air transshipment services offer a cost-effective compromise between the affordability of sea freight and the speed of air freight. By utilizing sea transport for the initial leg of the journey and seamlessly transferring goods to air transport for the final stretch, businesses can achieve a balance between cost savings and faster delivery.

Faster Transit Times: While sea freight may have longer transit times, air freight is known for its speed. By combining the two modes, businesses can leverage the speed of air transport for the critical last leg of the journey, ensuring timely delivery of goods to their destination.

Multiple Transport Modes: Sea and air transshipment services provide the flexibility of using multiple transport modes within a single logistics solution. This versatility allows businesses to choose the most efficient and cost-effective routes for different segments of the journey, optimizing the overall transportation process.

Global Connectivity: Sea and air transshipment services enable global connectivity, making it easier for businesses to reach diverse markets and locations. This is particularly advantageous for international trade, where goods may need to be transported across continents to reach their final destination.

Risk Diversification: By combining sea and air transport, businesses can diversify their risk exposure. Potential disruptions, such as adverse weather conditions or port congestion, may impact one mode of transport but not necessarily both. This diversification enhances the reliability and resilience of the supply chain.

Minimized Inventory Holding Costs: The efficient combination of sea and air transport can help minimize inventory holding costs. Goods can be transported via sea freight, allowing businesses to maintain optimal inventory levels. Then, when needed urgently, they can be transshipped via air to meet customer demand without the need for excessive warehousing.

Balanced Sustainability: Combining sea and air transport strategically can contribute to a more balanced approach to sustainability. While air freight is associated with higher carbon emissions, leveraging sea transport for the initial leg helps offset some of the environmental impact, especially for less time-sensitive cargo.

The advantages of sea and air transshipment services make them a preferred choice for businesses seeking a flexible and efficient solution that balances cost, speed, and global connectivity in their supply chain.
