Container Shipping
Container freight: what is it?
Container shipping is a method of transporting goods in standardized metal containers. Containers can be moved between vessels, trains and trucks without reloading the goods themselves. This simplifies multimodal delivery, reduces handling time and helps protect the cargo throughout the transport cycle.
Container shipping in action
FERRY GROUP LLC organizes transportation in 20-, 40- and 45-foot containers by sea, rail and road. The container type and route are selected according to cargo characteristics, delivery deadlines and the customer’s budget.
As the general cargo agent of MS PASIFIC Line, FERRY GROUP LLC provides regular container transportation between Poti (Georgia) and Constanta (Romania), with onward delivery to the EU, Ukraine and Moldova.
International container shipping: types and advantages
Container shipping can combine different modes of transport depending on the route, cargo characteristics and required delivery time. The main options are:
- Road transportation. Suitable for short and medium distances and provides flexibility when planning the route.
- Rail transportation. Used for moving containers over long distances and integrated with sea and road legs of the route.
- Sea transportation. Used for international container delivery between ports and onward movement by land transport.
- LCL (Less than Container Load). In international practice, consolidated cargo from different shippers can share one container when a shipment does not require the full container capacity.
The FERRY GROUP LLC team selects the transport mode and route according to the cargo, organizes transportation and coordinates its main stages.
