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?

👉 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".
👉 To change vehicle type during the transit (Example: from Thatuliner to VAN).
👉 To avoid (solve) unpredictable situations of delivery/loading locations. Usually access problems, Equipment problem on delivery/loading location.
👉 To sort cargo on your truck again (re-sort). These transport companies do if some problems shown during transport or similar.
