Container part load

shipping container at sea
Definition

Container part load refers to a shipment that occupies a portion of a shipping container rather than the entire space. In this scenario, multiple consignments from different shippers are combined and consolidated into a single container to optimize space utilization and reduce costs. Each consignment is securely loaded and separated within the container to prevent mixing or damage during transportation. Container part load allows for more efficient use of container capacity and is commonly used when individual shipments do not require a full container.
