How to do a good job of bulk cargo transportation by sea

Bulk cargo by sea is "cargo less than one container" in English, abbreviated as LCL. Needless to say, inquiry and quotation, etc. That is to say, the customer has already started to book the venue.

1. When customers book shipping space, bulk carriers will give customers warehouse receipts (also called warehouse receipts);

2. The customer sends the goods to the designated warehouse or wharf with the warehouse receipt (the bulk carrier can also help the customer send a car to receive the goods directly, but it needs to collect the money again);

3. When all the pre-allocated goods are concentrated in the warehouse, they will be arranged to be loaded in the warehouse or dock within the scheduled time, and all the goods will be declared and released, and then they will wait for the ship.

Prepare to board the ship. Among them, if one ticket cannot be released or boarded on time due to inspection or other reasons, it will be unpacked and released (the bulk carrier may charge a cargo loss fee), and other goods will continue.

The next thing.

4. when the ship arrives, the cabinet will board the ship ... the bulk carrier and the customer will check the information and fill out the bill of lading.

5. Arrive at the port of destination, unload the ship, clear customs, notify the consignee to change the order, pick up the goods, or deliver the goods to the door as required.

Among them, there are generally two kinds of bulk LCL: direct LCL and indirect LCL.

Direct assembly means that after the container is loaded, the container is not opened until the destination port, and the container is not changed halfway. Generally speaking,

Only in the trunk line or between two ports with more bulk cargo flow. Because of the large quantity of goods, all the goods in the whole container have to go to the same destination port.

Non-direct spell is to change cabinets at transit ports, when

However, customers need not worry. Are arranged by bulk carriers. For example, a container is assembled from Huangpu and contains goods from several different destination ports. When transiting through Hong Kong or other ports, containers are disassembled, and all containers assembled from their locations are disassembled.

Goods going to the same destination port are put together into a container, and then transferred to the ship, which solves the problem of how to put together a container when going to different destination ports.
