Groupage transport

Groupage transport: efficient and cost-effective shipping

Are you looking for a reliable logistics company that can arrange groupage transport for you? Vrieze Trading specialises in combining and transporting smaller shipments into one efficient load.

With groupage transport, several smaller shipments from different customers are combined into one container or lorry. These goods are then dispatched together to the same region or destination. This makes it possible to reduce transport costs and to make optimum use of the available space.

For smaller and medium-sized companies in particular, this is a very attractive solution. Groupage makes international and national transport more accessible, without having to hire a complete container or trailer.

What is groupage transport?

Groupage transport is a form of logistics in which various smaller loads are combined into one larger shipment. This can take place by road transport, sea freight and air freight, depending on the destination and the nature of the goods.

The main advantages of groupage are:

• Lower transport costs through sharing space.

• More efficient use of containers and lorries.

• Less empty space and therefore more sustainable transport.

• Accessible for smaller shipments and companies.

Groupage and road transport

Within road transport, groupage is often referred to as LTL (Less Than Truckload) and FTL (Full Truckload). LTL is particularly suitable for smaller shipments that do not fill a complete lorry. Combining shipments creates an efficient and cost-effective transport solution.

Groupage and sea freight

With sea freight, groupage is also known as LCL (Less than Container Load). Several shipments are combined into one shipping container. Vrieze Trading also takes care of all the necessary customs formalities, so your goods can be transported internationally without any problems.

The difference between groupage and break bulk

The difference between groupage and break bulk lies in the way goods are transported:

• Break bulk consists of individual, separately packed goods that are transported separately.

• Groupage transport combines several smaller shipments into one joint load.

Groupage is therefore often more efficient and more economical, while break bulk is more suitable for unique or separate deliveries.
