Case: 29 tonnes of steel: from two containers to one flat rack
For a shipment of sheet piling sections to the United States a booking of two 40ft containers was initially in place, based on the weight of 29 tonnes. On working it through, the cargo turned out to fit within the dimensions of a single 40ft flat rack, which came out cheaper than two containers. RoRo was more expensive for this destination. We booked via Antwerp rather than Rotterdam, because a direct sailing was available there.
The result
One flat rack instead of two containers, at lower cost and with a direct sailing.
