What are the forms of container transportation?
The main form of container transportation is intermodal transportation. Container transportation is an inevitable product of modern development, and the development of container transportation must involve container intermodal transportation. Relying solely on one transportation method to carry out container transportation can no longer fully leverage the advantages of container transportation and cannot achieve the peak effect. Therefore, organizing container intermodal transportation through railways, waterways, and highways has become an inevitable product of modern transportation. Nowadays, container transportation, known as the main transportation of sea, land, and air, has developed from domestic intermodal transportation to international intermodal transportation, from different transportation modes within a country to several countries and even intercontinental boundaries. Container intermodal transportation is the entire process of transportation completed through the cooperation and joint efforts of various transportation modes and competent departments.
In container transportation, there are several ways to transfer full container cargo and LCL cargo between the two parties:
1. Door to Door shipment: A container that is loaded by the shipper and handed over to the carrier for acceptance in its warehouse or factory warehouse. The carrier is responsible for the entire transportation process until the container is delivered to the consignee's warehouse or factory warehouse. This type of fully connected transportation is called "door to door" transportation.
2. DoortoCY: The container loading and unloading area from the shipper's warehouse or factory warehouse to the destination or unloading port.
3. DoortoCFS: A container freight station from the shipper's warehouse or factory warehouse to the destination or unloading port.
4. CYtoDoor: From the container loading and unloading area of the origin or loading port to the consignee's warehouse or factory warehouse.
5. CYtoCY: From the container loading and unloading area yard at the origin or loading port to the container loading and unloading area yard at the destination or unloading port.
6. CYtoCFS: Container freight station from the container loading and unloading area of the origin or loading port to the destination or unloading port.
7. CFStoDoor: From the container freight station at the origin or loading port to the consignee's warehouse or factory warehouse.
8. CFStoCY: From the container freight station at the origin or loading port to the container loading and unloading area at the destination or unloading port.
9. Station to Station (CFStoCFS): From the container freight station at the origin or loading port to the container freight station at the destination or unloading port.
10. The unique document for container export freight is the equipment handover document.
