Container freight is divided into two types: FCL and LCL, so the handover methods are also different. Looking at the current international practices, there are roughly the following four categories:

(1) FCL delivery, FCL/FCL delivery (FCL/FCL) The consignor delivers the full FCL to the carrier at the factory or warehouse, and the consignee receives the same FCL at the destination, in other words, the carrier Responsible for handover based on the entire container. The packing and unpacking of the goods are the responsibility of the cargo owner.

(2) LCL delivery and unpacking (LCL/LCL) consignees hand over the small-ticket consignment that is less than the entire container to the carrier at the container freight station or inland transfer station, and the carrier is responsible for the consolidation and packing (stuffing) , Vanning) transported to the destination cargo station or inland transfer station, the carrier is responsible for unstuffing (Unstuffing, Defantting), after unpacking, the consignee will receive the goods by voucher. The packing and unpacking of the goods are the responsibility of the carrier.

(3) FCL delivery and unpacking (FCL/LCL) The consignor shall deliver the filled FCL to the carrier at the factory or warehouse, and the carrier will be responsible for the demolition at the destination container freight station or inland transfer station. After the box, each consignee will receive the goods by voucher.

(4) LCL delivery, LCL/FCL delivery (LCL/FCL) The consignor will hand over the consignment of less than FCL to the carrier at the container freight station or inland transfer station. The carrier classifies and adjusts the goods of the same consignee. The goods of the same consignee are assembled into FCL. After the goods are delivered to the destination, the carrier will deliver the goods in FCL and the consignee will receive them in FCL. Among the above-mentioned various transfer methods, the FCL transfer and FCL transfer have a good effect, and the superiority of the container can also be exerted.

Container cargo delivery point

The transfer of container cargo is generally divided into:

(1) Door to Door: From the shipper’s factory or warehouse to the consignee’s factory or warehouse;

(2) Door to CY: the container yard from the shipper’s factory or warehouse to the destination or unloading port;

(3) Door to CFS: a container freight station from the shipper’s factory or warehouse to the destination or unloading port;

(4) CY to Door: From the container yard at the place of departure or packing port to the consignee’s factory or warehouse;

(5) CY to CY: From the place of departure or the container yard at the loading port to the destination or the container yard at the unloading port;

(6) CY to CFS: From the container yard at the place of departure or loading port to the container freight station at the destination or unloading port;

(7) CFS to Door: From the container freight station at the place of departure or packing port to the consignee’s factory or warehouse;

(8) CFS to CY: From the container freight station at the place of departure or loading port to the container yard at the destination or unloading port;

(9) CFS to CFS: From the container freight station at the place of departure or loading port to the container freight station at the destination or unloading port.

The above nine handover methods can be further summarized into the following four methods:

(1) Door to door: The characteristic of this mode of transportation is that in the entire transportation process, it is completely containerized, and there is no cargo transportation, so it is suitable for FCL delivery and FCL receiving.

(2) Door-to-site station: This mode of transportation is characterized by container transportation from door to station and cargo transportation from station to door, so it is suitable for FCL delivery and unpacking.

(3) Station-to-door: This mode of transportation is characterized by cargo transportation from door to station, and container transportation from station to door, so it is suitable for LCL delivery and FCL.

(4) Depot to Depot: The characteristic of this mode of transportation is that, except for the container transportation in the middle section, the inland transportation at both ends is cargo transportation, so it is suitable for LCL delivery and unpacking.
