The cargo is validated against the booking details and Indochina Post’s cargo receipt which documents that the cargo has been received for shipping is issued to the shipper.
The cargo will then be placed in a stack in the origin warehouse for consolidation.
A few days before vessel departure, the shipments are put into the shipping line’s container. At the port, the container is stacked with other containers intended to load on the same ship. Finally, all containers will be loaded when the ship is ready in the port.
