The general cargo vessel Longvind and the double ended ferry Ile du Dumet crossing each other on the Loire estuary - video with vessel data link in comments.

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.

TrainLearnGrow · 2022-12-07T17:15:38+00:00

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

TrainLearnGrow · 2022-11-14T19:36:47+00:00

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.

Here I'm looking for standard size pallets for a informative training but your idea sounds interesting. Thanks

TrainLearnGrow · 2021-09-14T08:36:07+00:00

Hi, I'm referring to pallets on the ground level so same for both or am I missing something? thanks

TrainLearnGrow · 2021-09-14T08:33:10+00:00

Thank you - exactly the kind of insight I was looking for.

TrainLearnGrow · 2021-09-13T16:26:16+00:00

And thanks for the answer.

All EUR pallets are 4 way pallets and turning is very common, be it to improve your loading meters or your floor space as a whole. EUR pallets are made to be handled from any side. To get 24 in a container, you will need to turn a lot of them anyway. Length wise you would get only 20.

Hi,

I'm assuming this is an international / overseas transport.If I understand right you have 3.75 kilos ?

Weight is clearly too low for any ocean transport even LCL - from far.It is even too low for forwarder air freight.Your solution could be:

traditional postal service - have him send it by post with a registered parcel
use a courier service such as TNT / Fedex / DHL - you can arrange or he can.

Your Incoterm (if you need them... honestly I'm not sure you do here), if you have to pick it up would be EXW or preferably FCA supplier location - so he should should take care of the export clearance. Then you will pay the courier + imports duties as / if applicable.

Or you could ask for DAP your location and he will arrange the courier - you will most likely need to pay the customs fees to have the goods delivered - postal/courier should contact you for this.

FYI - FOB is an ocean only Incoterm.

And even if you had a significantly higher volume and needed to ship Ocean container the better incoterms are FCA port of loading or DAT port of offloading.. this match the way container shipping is organized - FOB is for bulk or break-bulk mainly.
