Frequently asked questions

01

What is the BOL/Arrival Notice and who provides it?

The BOL (Bill of Lading) is one of the most important freight documents. It helps with tracking, payment, insurance claims, and liability. The BOL is a loading receipt, contract of carriage, and document of title all rolled into one.
The BOL is provided by the carrier when the cargo is loaded as proof that the goods are handed over. It also serves as a receipt that the shipment was received in good condition (unless a note to the contrary is made on the BOL at pickup).
The Arrival Notice (AN) is also provided by the carrier when the shipment is about to arrive at the destination port.

Does container size affect transit time?
Transit time refers to how long it takes for a shipment to be delivered to its final destination after being picked up from a designated pickup point. The amount of time needed to move goods from one point to another varies widely, so it’s important to get this information before booking a shipment.
Transit time can vary due to several factors, including carrier schedules, potential delays in customs clearance, and unforeseen events such as weather conditions and global incidents.
It is calculated by taking into account the origin and destination of goods, the mode of transportation chosen, the distance to be traveled, and any applicable customs procedures.
Container size can affect transit time, but will not have a significant impact on the duration of the shipment.

Shipping costs may vary depending on a number of factors, such as:

* Weight and volume: Costs for heavier and bulkier shipments are typically higher.
* Distance: The price increases as the distance
increases.
* Transport Method: Freight shipped by air is typically more expensive than freight shipped by
sea.
* Shipping Class: Prices may vary depending on the shipping class of the freight (based on elements like fragility and hazard).
* Additional Services: Customs clearance, insurance, and special handling may raise the overall cost.

Most shipping companies provide tracking services so you can keep track of the status of your shipment in real time. The current location of the shipment, the anticipated delivery date, and any potential delays are all included in the tracking data. Because of this openness, the recipient can plan more effectively and feel at ease.
