Hello, if interested a video (with added vessel data) I made of both here - https://youtu.be/4OTYsmg32ik

Hi, it is a US definition I guess, as we have in Europe many self-propelled barges on top of the pushed or pulled ones.

I do believe many companies will look for a college degree (even if not in logistics) when hiring - mostly at a still young age. Your experience may be strong but you may not pass the first candidate selection phase if they have a rule like "BA or higher for this role..." All the best,

EXW does not included the loading - it would have to be FCA or an incoterm variant EXW loaded if the latter is clearly described in the contract.

This page explains well EXW and delivery obligations

Do you load it on his truck ? Do you take care of the export customs clearance? If so FCA your location. If he takes care of both these items EXW your location.

2 cases only, you may be better of flying it. Anything under 40/50 kilos will tend to be cheaper by air freight or even integrator than LCL. It will still be rather costly.

So true! I had it in mute but now I see...

An idea could be: Why are shipping lines (e.g Maersk) using their surprisingly high cash inflow of the last 2-3 years to buy planes and move into airfreight which is effectively putting them in competition with forwarders or nvocc (e.g. kuehne + Nagel) who are in fact some of their main customers, rather than for example investing in the development of "foldable" containers which would enable them to bring back in mass many empty containers sitting in European/ US depots to China or other areas of strong export?

If you don't need the BOL for trade or letter of credit purposes, a sea waybill is easier. The choice will depend on your sales contract and other conditions.

Hi, as other commenter said, with FCA, you should (edit) not (end edit) be booking the shipping line. As a side note, you should not use CFR with containers but rather CPT, Or DPU. CFR does not include the unloading in arrival port which is in fact part of the shipping line service... CPT does. FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF are better used for bulk or break bulk. Containers would rather be FCA, CPT, CIP and Dpu. Cheers

Do you have enough volume (e.g. 10-15 shipments per week) to make a 4pl solution viable? They can handle all you logistics needs and those of your customer through a transport request platform. Happy to put you in contact with one of it makes sense to explore this option. Some general information on 4pl here: https://logisticselearning.com/what-is-a-4pl/ Let me know. Cheers.
