Shipping coordination

The right shipping route, based on the facts of your order

Sea, air, rail and road options are assessed after the cargo and destination information needed for the shipment is available.

Cargo information

Product type, quantity, dimensions, weight, packing, classification and handling needs shape the available options.

Destination information

Consignee, port or terminal, delivery location and destination requirements must be confirmed before routing.

Route review

Available routes are compared using the shipment priorities, cargo limits, customs needs and handover arrangement.

Written confirmation

The selected route, included services, documents and responsibilities are recorded for the specific shipment.

Restricted or special goods require separate confirmation before a route is selected.
