CARGO

Practically all products you use in your day-to-day life have passed through the Port. And every product requires its own method of transport, or packaging. Five types of cargo can be distinguished: container cargo, liquid bulk, dry bulk, breakbulk and ro-ro.

AIR CARGO

Air Freight, also known as air cargo, is the mode of transport used to transport cargo swiftly by air. Airfreight is the most valuable form of transport when shipping or transporting goods in the fastest time around the globe. Air cargo is shipped through the same gateway as the passenger or commercial airlines.

General and Special are the two types of Air Cargo:

General Cargo - This type of cargo consists of high-value cargo like pharmaceuticals, jewellery, and electronics. Even though air shipping is more expensive than sea transport, it is still the best mode for transporting high margin and fragile goods.

Special Cargo - Preferred type for transporting under special conditions such as temperature control, air conditions, and special casing, usually in cases of hazardous goods or livestock.

OVER DIMENSIONAL CARGO ODC

In simplest terms, ODC or Over Dimensional Cargo is a cargo that protrudes outside the loading deck of the vehicle transporting the cargo, cargo that extends beyond the normal deck of the cargo (may it be 20' or 40' or more). The over-dimensional cargo gets transported in flat racks and open tops. The freight rate borsch cargo differs from the regular sea freight rate and is calculated based on the cargo's dimension being transported.

For example: If a truck with a loading platform length of 20 feet is loaded with cargo like TMT bars of length 22 feet, then the TMT bars qualify as Over-Dimension Cargo. If the same TMT bars were loaded on a vehicle with a platform length of 22+ feet, it would have been classified as Normal Cargo rather than ODC.

The government imposes fine on the carriage of ODC, hence incentivizing the industry to refrain from taking unnecessary risks and using larger vehicles to transport these loads.

CARGO MANIFEST

A cargo manifest is a consolidated list of all the cargo that is on board. The list of all cargo carried on the carrier will appear under the carrier name and identification marks of the carrier.
