Servicios

At Kerry Logistics we have extensive experience, which makes us specialists in the transportation of goods by sea.

Kerry Logistics offers international transportation services that are profitable for your company and reliable for you thanks to our global presence, together with a solid network of connections with sea freight forwarders, covering all the logistics of conventional cargo and full containers (FCL) . For smaller cargos we have a consolidation (LCL) service.

We provide a personalized service, proactively notifying our commercial partners during the logistics of their goods from reception to final delivery.

We focus on taking your products to their destination efficiently, securely and on time. From confirmation of the booking, reception of the cargo at terminal and international freight, to offloading, customs clearance, cargo monitoring and notification of arrival, we meticulously supervise all the aspects of the shipping process.

An FCL is for a single shipper, in other words, a single shipper or exporter. In terms of logistics, it offers much more security, becoming the best option for bulky and heavy products. Its transit time is much faster and delays at ports and customs are less likely. During transit, we take care of all the customs processes and delivery documents, giving you peace of mind.

An LCL shipment involves the goods occupying less than the total space of a full container, which means that the container will be shared and different goods of several suppliers and customers will travel in it.

The cargo transit may require multiple consolidation and deconsolidation points.

  • Requirements to transport goods in this modality:
    • Packed
    • Palletized
  • Route
    • If your cargo’s destination is a secondary port, your goods could be unloaded at a stopover port. At this place, they may be transported to another container or wait until more goods complete the container cargo before continuing the journey to their final destination.
  • Advantages
    • Competitive rates
    • Possibility to transport small cargos
    • The rates are calculated according to volume / weight
    • The consolidation process enables you to reduce general shipping costs

What is a Buyer´s Consol?

A Buyer´s Consol is when one of our customers transfers several cargos of different suppliers. Kerry Logistics is responsible for consolidating those multiple LCL cargos, in other words, we concentrate them into a single container, thereby converting it into a FCL (full container for the same customer with goods of different suppliers). It is an integrated service in multiple countries/regions which provides huge cost advantages, making your supply chain more agile and efficient, thereby increasing reliability margins and optimizing transit time, dealing with different freight forwarders and costs.

Buyer´s Consol represents a simplified way to carry out the logistics of your supply chain, enabling comprehensive logistics by requesting complementary services such as the customs declaration, inspection at origin, quality control, GPS tracking and monitoring, cargo insurance and maneuvers to provide the best protection for your cargo.

    Advantages
  • Cargo consolidation provides the buyer with more control.
  • Avoids management with multiple transport suppliers.
  • Avoids charges for individual customs clearances, handling everything through a single service
  • Saves the destination charges of a traditional LCL shipment, such as consolidation at destination and destination CFS (Control Freight Station).

Multimodal transportation is a flexible and personalized service, where the air, sea, land and/or rail modality can be combined, representing different advantages such as more efficient costs and flexibility in routes and transit times. Our multimodal transportation service can provide a single rate per kilogram for the entire transport process from origin to destination with the different transport services, streamlining times and saving costs.
