Here’s a detailed overview of the CFS services provided by ESGL.
Consolidation and Deconsolidation Services
One of the primary functions of a CFS is the consolidation of goods from multiple shippers / consignees into a single container (for LCL / Buyer consolidation shipments) and the deconsolidation of Full Container Load (FCL) shipments into smaller lots for delivery to various destinations.
Consolidation
We gather smaller shipments from different customers and consolidate them into one container for cost-effective transportation. This service is particularly beneficial for businesses that do not have enough cargo to fill an entire container.
Deconsolidation
We gather smaller shipments from different customers and consolidate them into one container for cost-effective transportation. This service is particularly beneficial for businesses that do not have enough cargo to fill an entire container.
Warehousing and Storage Services
CFS facilities typically provide warehousing and storage solutions that are essential for managing goods before and after shipment.
Short-Term Storage
ESG offers short-term storage at the CFS, allowing goods to be held temporarily while awaiting further transport or customs clearance. This is particularly useful for managing shipments that need to be consolidated or deconsolidated.
Secure Storage
CFS facilities are equipped with secure storage areas, featuring advanced security systems, CCTV, and controlled access to protect goods from theft or damage.
Temperature-Controlled Storage
For perishable or temperature-sensitive goods, our CFS partner facilities offer climate-controlled storage options. This ensures that products such as pharmaceuticals, food items, and chemicals are stored under optimal conditions.
Cargo Handling and Distribution
Efficient cargo handling is a critical aspect of CFS services, ensuring that goods are managed safely and promptly during the consolidation and deconsolidation processes.
