Success Case: Two 10GP Custom Containers Shipped from Foshan to Norway
Customer Background:
The customer needed to ship two customized 10-foot containers from Foshan to Norway. However, 10GP containers are not standard in the ocean freight market, making them difficult for shipping lines to accept. Alternatives such as LCL (less-than-container load) shipping or special equipment would lead to significantly higher logistics costs.
Customer Pain Points:
*10GP containers are not standard and are generally not accepted by carriers
*LCL or special equipment options were too costly and inefficient
*The client required a solution that was both cost-effective and compliant
Our Solution:
Through in-depth technical analysis and close coordination with the shipping line, our team successfully negotiated to secure a 20GP container slot on the vessel. We proposed to combine the two 10GP units and ship them as a single 20GP general-purpose container, in full compliance with shipping standards.
Final Outcome:
*Both 10GP containers were shipped together as one 20GP general-purpose container
*The client avoided the high cost of LCL or special equipment
*Cargo arrived in Norway safely and on time, achieving significant cost savings and operational efficiency
