Comparing Inplant and Offsite Container Loading Efficiency

This paper delves into two stuffing modes in shipping container transportation: stuffing at a container freight station (CFS) and factory loading. Stuffing refers to the process where the cargo owner delivers goods to a designated CFS for the freight forwarder to stuff the container. Factory loading involves delivering an empty container to the cargo owner's premises for stuffing. The article compares the differences between the two in terms of operation location, responsible parties, and applicable scenarios. Through case studies, it helps readers understand how to choose the appropriate stuffing method based on actual circumstances to optimize the logistics process.

Cross-border e-commerce sellers should be aware of the risks associated with choosing between ocean bills of lading and forwarder bills of lading. Ocean bills of lading, issued by shipping companies, offer a simpler cargo retrieval process and stronger proof of ownership, suitable for full container load (FCL) shipments. Forwarder bills of lading, issued by freight forwarders, are appropriate for less than container load (LCL) shipments and specific trade terms but carry the risk of destination port agent issues. Selecting the wrong bill of lading can lead to cargo detention and financial loss. Consulting with professional logistics advisors is recommended.
