1.) What is a Transshipment service (Umschlagslager)?

Transshipment definition: is the shipment of goods to a temporary location before the shipment reaches the final location. This service is used at Sea transport, Rail transport or Road transport. In this article, we will focus on transshipment service at road transport.

Moving cargo from one truck to another usually takes place in transport hubs. Much international transshipment also takes place in designated customs areas, thus avoiding the need for customs checks or duties, otherwise a major hindrance for efficient transport.

2.) When Transshipment service is used?

πŸ‘‰ One option to use transshipment (Umschlagslager) is to change the type of transport during the transit (Example: from ship transport to road transport).

πŸ‘‰ Another reason is to combine small shipments into a large shipment (consolidation), or the opposite: dividing a large shipment into smaller shipments (deconsolidation). This mostly used transport companies that operate with "Groupage transport".

πŸ‘‰ To change vehicle type during the transit (Example: from Thatuliner to VAN).

πŸ‘‰ To avoid (solve) unpredictable situations of delivery/loading locations. Usually access problems, Equipment problem on delivery/loading location.

πŸ‘‰ To sort cargo on your truck again (re-sort). These transport companies do if some problems shown during transport or similar.

3 ways of warehousing, depending on how long the cargo will be in the warehouse:

1️⃣ Cargo will be moved from truck to truck directly.

2️⃣ Cargo will be move from truck to truck on the same day (one truck arrives later).

3️⃣Cargo will be moved from truck to warehouse and a new truck will load this cargo in the next few days (This is already called temporary warehousing).
