Global Freight

General Cargo

Boxed, palletised and containerised goods moved reliably.

The problem

Why businesses struggle

Standard cargo is treated as commodity freight, so it gets the lowest priority when capacity tightens or a schedule slips.

Business impact

  • Rolled bookings during peak season
  • Damage from poor palletising
  • No visibility between origin and arrival
