Planned Transshipment: Efficiency in Shipping

Not all ports worldwide are directly connected. Especially if your container is headed to a smaller port, it is common for it to be transferred to another ship along the way. This process improves logistical efficiency. Large container ships mainly operate between major global ports, while smaller vessels handle further distribution.

Unplanned Transshipment: Congestion and Delays. Sometimes, a container ends up on a different ship due to unforeseen circumstances, such as port congestion or operational decisions by the shipping company. If a vessel is rerouted due to weather conditions or strikes, for example, your container may travel via an alternative route. These changes can affect the originally estimated time of arrival (ETA).
