PRT / PORT

Overview

The ocean leg
does not break at the port.

Container booking, terminal and discharge are not sold as separate catalogues. They continue the same shipment.

The port is not a gap between ship and road. When the transfer stays visible, the arrival date calms.

Container model

FCL or LCL.
Volume decides.

The cheapest box is not always the right model. Volume, arrival and transfer are read together.

  1. FCL

    Full container

    One shipper, one container. Booking, seal and discharge stay on one plan.

  2. LCL

    Less than container

    Consolidation shares the box without losing the shipment’s identity.

Port coordination

The transfer
is not a separate job.

Carrier, terminal, customs and inland haulage stay on one calendar. A port wait is not explained later.

  1. 01 / BKG

    Booking

    Lane, equipment and cut-off lock together. Capacity is not left as a guess.

  2. 02 / TML

    Terminal

    Gate-in, stacking and vessel plan stay visible. The terminal is not a black box.

  3. 03 / CUS

    Customs

    Documents do not catch up after discharge. The declaration moves with the box.

  4. 04 / INL

    Inland haulage

    Discharge, warehouse or last mile continue the same route.

Workflow

From booking
to inland haulage.

    Lane and cut-off.

    Gate-in and seal.

Textile Season Distribution Operation

Challenge

Share volume, port and arrival window. We choose FCL or LCL from the transfer, not from the box.
