To properly outline what deconsolidation is, one must explain what consolidation is and what is the reason for which such a process exists. It is an essential element of the process of container transport of shipments that do not occupy the entire container, and even more – generally occupy little space. So much so that the question arises whether their transport by container is profitable at all?

Container transport in itself relies on maximizing the use of cargo space; to achieve this, containers are often not dedicated to one supplier, but contain goods coming from various sources and most often intended for various recipients. This is so-called groupage transport. Consolidation is the process of combining these small shipments for transport in one container.

How does it look in practice? Let’s assume that we have a small amount of goods to transport or simply one element that is of relatively small dimensions. In such a situation, renting an entire container is simply unprofitable. However, one can get out of this situation. Then our goods go to a container with other shipments that met the same “problem”. Such goods in small quantity are called Less than Container Load (LCL) or simply defined as groupage. It is worth noting that for groupage transport, exactly the same containers are used as are used for Full Container Load shipments. When the container reaches the place of receipt, it goes to the warehouse and there occurs cargo deconsolidation, i.e., separating individual shipments and delivering to their proper recipients.

Each of the consolidated shipments has a waybill drawn up, and the entire container is covered by a collective cargo manifest. Its sender is the consolidating forwarder, and the recipient is the deconsolidating one. Thanks to this, there is no question of mistaking the cargo or improper distribution of goods. As a logistics operator providing services in the city of Warsaw and throughout Poland, we also specialize in transport cargo deconsolidation.
