Overview
Global Groupage
We provide businesses with cost-saving consolidation of consignments into our regular groupage service, even if the overall cargo volume does not meet our full container requirements. This means cargo is combined with other shipments heading to the same destination. Our experienced staff are always available to take your enquiries.
If your business has a large number of suppliers with undersized consignments destined for locations within the same geographical area, our "smart container" arrangement significantly helps to save expenses.
Furthermore, if the total volume does fill a container, we will immediately take up the batch, consolidate it into an FCL shipping container and take care of the entire delivery — saving you both time and money.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if my consolidated cargo fills a whole container?
We immediately take up the batch, consolidate it into an FCL shipping container and take care of the entire delivery. You gain the benefit of dedicated container movement without having had to plan for it.
Is groupage suitable for cargo from several suppliers?
It is exactly the right solution for that case. If you have many suppliers sending undersized consignments to one geographical area, groupage combines them so you pay consolidated rather than fragmented rates.
Does groupage take longer than a dedicated shipment?
Groupage runs to a regular scheduled consolidation service, so your cargo moves on a dependable rhythm. Where speed is the priority and volume justifies it, we advise moving directly to FCL or air freight.
