There are mainly the following reasons for container rehandling in transshipment trade. Firstly, adjustments to the goods transportation routes. For example, if the originally scheduled direct voyage is affected by unexpected situations such as port congestion or ship breakdowns and a transshipment port needs to be changed, it may be necessary to rehandle the containers and change ships for transportation.
Secondly, if the goods packaging or shipping marks do not meet the requirements of the destination port, it is necessary to rehandle the containers at the transshipment port to repackage, relabel, etc., to avoid customs clearance obstacles at the destination port. Moreover, for the purpose of consolidation or deconsolidation. If the goods are shipped by multiple suppliers in a full container and need to be deconsolidated and distributed according to different destinations at the transshipment port; or if the goods of different suppliers are transported separately and need to be consolidated at the transshipment port before being shipped to the destination port, these situations all require container rehandling. In addition, some transshipment trades involve the inspection and examination of products, and container rehandling at the transshipment port facilitates the operations. In conclusion, container rehandling is to ensure that the goods arrive smoothly at the destination port and comply with the relevant regulations.
