Logistics Term
What’s a Shared Shipping Container?
A shared shipping container is also known as a groupage service. It's used by clients whose shipments are incapable of filling a container. Shared shipping containers offer the best option if your shipment is smaller and you are unwilling to pay for a full container. It only requires payment for the room your assets take up in the container. Multiple clients bring their packages in this container and share the cost, hence its cost-effectiveness when using a shared shipping container. Three factors influence how fast a groupage shipment will take. The length needed to fill the container, the time taken from port to port, and the time taken to clear the container at the destination port.
