Choosing by Volume
- •Enough to fill a vessel: full vessel break bulk shipment for steel, timber, machinery, agricultural products and minerals
- •Less than a full vessel: part cargo, multiple shippers share one ship
- •Small lots or single oversized pieces: forwarding via air, FCL, LCL or flat rack with multi-channel rate comparison
- •Regular lanes: China's main ports ↔ Hai Phong/Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Port Klang, Mumbai/Kandla
- •Return leg: palm products, coal, iron ore and pulp from Southeast Asia to China, 10,000-50,000mt per shipment
