Glossary Transloading

Transloading refers to the process of transferring cargo from one mode of transportation to another. Instead of transporting goods directly to their final destination, they are temporarily moved to another vehicle or transportation method for more efficient transport. This process plays an important role in logistics as it can help reduce transportation costs. For example, when transferring cargo from a ship to a truck, the cargo is loaded into a container on the ship, then transferred to the truck for final delivery.
