ABK does Consolidation
Save shipping costs with a freight consolidator.
Our deep understanding of logistics and our commitment to efficiency make us a recommended consolidator in India. By combining shipments from multiple shippers, we optimise space and reduce shipping costs while maintaining service quality with our consolidation expertise. ABK manages every step of the way, from collection to warehousing, customs clearance and delivery.
What are the shipping options for consolidated shipping?
Depending on the mode of transportation and the specific needs of the shipment, these are the few key options:
1. Less than Container Load (LCL) - Ocean Freight
Multiple smaller shipments from different shippers combined into one container. Each shipper pays for their cargo space making it cost-effective for shipping smaller quantities. Best for small to medium-sized shipments that don't fill an entire container.
2. Less than Truckload (LTL) - Road Freight
Smaller shipments from various shippers combined into one truck. Shippers share the transportation cost based on cargo space. Best for domestic or regional shipments that don’t require a full truck.
3.Consolidation - Air Freight
Shipments from different shippers combined into one air freight shipment. Ideal for smaller, high-value, or time-sensitive goods that need faster delivery.
4. Consolidation - Full Container Load (FCL)
Can be multiple shipments from a single shipper or a few large shipments from different shippers combined into a full container. Useful when a shipper has various small orders that can fill a container or to optimise costs for multiple shippers’ cargoes.
5. Warehouse Consolidation
Shipments are collected and stored at a warehouse until there is enough volume to ship. However, in this case the shipper may have to wait until there is enough volume or a larger shipment.
