Freight forwarding service refers to the activity of a freight forwarder who organizes and coordinates the transportation of goods on behalf of a shipper (client) using various modes of transport—maritime, air, rail, or road. The freight forwarder acts as a logistical intermediary between the shipper and the carriers, handling all necessary steps to move goods from their point of origin to their final destination.

The consignment service is a key activity in the maritime sector that involves representing a vessel, its owner, or operator at a specific port. This role is typically carried out by a shipping agent or consigning agent, who acts as an intermediary between the vessel, its owner, the port, and other stakeholders, including port authorities, freight forwarders, and shippers. Roles and Responsibilities of the Consignment Service: Coordination of Port Calls Organizing the vessel's arrival, stay, and departure at the port. Securing a berth for loading or unloading cargo.

Bulk Carrier Liner Service refers to a regular maritime transport service in which bulk carriers transport bulk goods along fixed routes with pre-established schedules. However, unlike container liner services, bulk carrier liner services are less common because bulk transport is typically organized on a tramp basis (on-demand transport) without a fixed route. Bulk carrier liner services are used for specific and regular flows of bulk cargo between fixed points. Key Features of a Bulk Carrier Liner Service: Transport of Solid or Liquid Bulk Goods: The service is designed for transporting bulk cargo, which can be either solid (e.g., minerals, coal, grains, cement, fertilizers) or liquid (e.g., crude oil, chemicals, liquefied gas). Fixed and Regular Routes: These services operate on set routes with regular schedules, catering to specific bulk cargo needs. This service is ideal for industries that require a consistent and reliable flow of bulk goods across specific trade lanes.

Container Liner Service refers to a regular maritime transport service where vessels carry containers along fixed routes between specific ports, according to a pre-established schedule. This type of service plays a crucial role in international trade, enabling the efficient and standardized movement of goods across the globe. Key Features of a Container Liner Service: Fixed Routes and Regularity: The service operates along fixed routes with regular schedules. This allows for predictability in the transport of goods. Logistical Planning: Shippers can plan their logistics operations based on the set departure and arrival times, ensuring timely delivery. Efficiency and Standardization: The service enables streamlined, standardized cargo handling, which is essential for large-scale global trade.

In maritime transport, slot service refers to the provision by a shipping company of a specific space aboard a vessel for loading containers or other types of cargo. This space, known as a slot, corresponds to a precise position or location on the ship. Features of Slot Service: A slot represents the space required to load a standard container, typically a 20-foot or 40-foot container. Slots can also be used for specific units, such as refrigerated containers, out-of-gauge cargo, or other types of specialized cargo.

Chartering refers to the act of renting a vessel, aircraft, truck, or other means of transport for the transportation of goods. The charterer, who may be a company or organization, books a means of transport from the vehicle owner (the carrier), either for a specific trip or for a fixed period. Key Features of the Chartering Service: Transport Booking: The charterer arranges for the transport of goods by renting a vehicle or vessel. Flexibility: Chartering can be done for a single voyage or for a set period, depending on the requirements. Direct Agreement: The charterer deals directly with the transport provider, which may include negotiating terms, rates, and schedules. Chartering provides a flexible and tailored solution for transporting goods, accommodating various shipping needs across different modes of transport.
