Transportation of timber in seacontainers

Transportation of timber in seacontainers

Usually, timber is the general cargo, and for it's transportation use bulk vessels and railway wagons. After accumulating а certain quantity of cargo, the shipper or buyer charter the vessel and ship timber to port of destination. This way is cost-optimized, but it plagued by significant gaps:

  1. Shipper needs to collect large quantities of timber (more than 1000 cubic meters).
  2. High quantity of transhipment's operations – discharging from wagons, storage on open air, loading on board and e.c. The result is the lost of quality of the goods.
  3. It difficult to charter the vessel if port of destination is out of the popular vessel's lines.
