Planning the Inland Leg of an Ocean Shipment

Logistics guide

Port-to-door transport needs its own plan. The inland leg connects terminal availability with the receiving site's capacity, equipment needs and working hours.

Coordinate release, transport and receiving

• Confirm the pickup location, equipment type and shipment reference. Ask which releases or confirmations must be available before a vehicle can collect the cargo.
• Match the delivery appointment to the expected cargo availability. Share access restrictions, unloading arrangements and the receiving contact with the coordinator.
• For container movements, confirm the return instructions and applicable time allowances with the relevant provider. Review any change before dispatch.

Before you proceed

Do not arrange collection using an arrival estimate alone. The transport coordinator needs confirmation that the cargo can actually be collected.
