Consolidation & Deconsolidation
What is consolidation and deconsolidation of containers? Consolidation combines multiple shippers' smaller loads into one shared container to make shipping more cost-efficient. Deconsolidation is the reverse — separating a shared container's contents back out at destination. Cargo Link Lebanon provides both.
If your shipment isn't large enough to fill a container on its own, consolidation lets you share space — and cost — with other shippers' cargo rather than paying for a full container you don't need. This is closely related to LCL (Less than Container Load) sea freight; see Sea Freight for how that works on the shipping side.
