CFS as the Link Between Port and Inland Transport

A Container Freight Station acts as a bridge between seaports and inland destinations. After arriving at the port, goods may not go directly to the consignee. Instead, they are moved to a CFS for customs clearance, segregation, and further handling. This intermediate step allows shipping lines to free up port space quickly and reduce congestion. For importers, CFS facilities make it easier to manage shipments before final delivery. For exporters, it ensures cargo is consolidated efficiently before loading onto vessels. This role is particularly critical in countries with busy ports and long inland transport routes, as it helps streamline the entire logistics chain while maintaining cargo safety.
