Railfreight
Railfreight has long been a somewhat forgotten mode of transporting goods. Railfreight is suitable for larger volumes such as LCL/general cargo or FCL/full containers for inventory costs reduction whilst improving flexibility. Railfreight is more climate-friendly and quite similar to sea freight since the goods are loaded in containers, the routing is of course different.
Railfreight is suitable for:
- Goods of high value with bigger volumes
- Faster way for your goods to your markets
- Regular shipments with lead time requirements
- Reduction of your local inventory
- Shorter lead times without increasing carbon footprint
Typical lead times station-station:
- To China 16-19 days
FCL: Full container
Full containers (FCL) contains goods for one single customer only. FCL is appropriate and most economical for big volumes and goods characteristics is not loadable together with other types of goods.
LCL: General Cargo
With LCL service goods are loaded in consolidated containers with cargo to multiple consignees, and each party pays for their demanded space in container. LCL is a solution when shipper do not have enough volume to fill or justify freightcost for FCL. LCL is offered with door-door solution.
