Efficient shipping solutions for smaller volumes and smarter logistics.
Cargo Consolidation
Why consolidation makes sense
Not every business moves full containers — and that’s where cargo consolidation becomes the smart alternative. Instead of waiting to gather enough volume or overpaying for empty space, consolidation allows you to ship smaller loads more frequently by sharing container space with other exporters.
At Agrotrade Solutions Inc., we help our clients lower shipping costs and reduce delays by organizing shared containers that group compatible cargo headed to the same region. It's ideal for businesses testing new markets, managing seasonal volumes, or shipping irregularly.
How the process works
Cargo consolidation begins with one essential principle: combining multiple smaller shipments into a single, well-planned container load. Once you deliver your cargo to one of our partner hubs — or we arrange pickup — it’s grouped with other freight, loaded securely into a shared container, and dispatched on a fixed sailing schedule.
This means you don’t need to worry about sourcing space, coordinating multiple carriers, or juggling timelines — we handle it all for you. The container travels sealed until arrival at the deconsolidation point, where each shipment is separated and prepared for final delivery.
Built for flexibility
Consolidation gives you the flexibility to respond to your customer needs without the burden of full-container logistics. Whether you're moving a few pallets of packaged goods, industrial parts, or specialty items, we align the shipment with the right container route and ensure that everything is tracked and documented correctly.
This model also benefits businesses with decentralized supply chains. If you're sourcing from multiple locations, we can collect and group your cargo at one port-side facility, simplifying your exports and reducing unnecessary inland transport.
Our global reach
We operate through reliable consolidation hubs in key port cities including Rotterdam, Hamburg, Istanbul, New York, and Dubai. These facilities are equipped for rapid intake, organized loading, and efficient turnaround — ensuring that even small shipments move regularly and without bottlenecks.
Sailings from these hubs are available weekly or biweekly depending on the destination. You'll receive advance notice of cutoff dates, loading windows, and expected arrival times, so you can plan your deliveries without guesswork.
Full visibility and documentation
Agrotrade Solutions coordinates the full export process — from commercial invoicing and packing lists to export declarations and customs paperwork. You stay informed throughout, with clear communication and shipment status updates available from loading to delivery.
Once the container reaches the destination port, our partners handle deconsolidation and local handover, whether your goods are going to a distributor, warehouse, or final customer.
A strategy for growth
Consolidation isn’t just a workaround for small loads — it’s a strategic logistics option that supports growth, agility, and smarter inventory management. If you're scaling up exports or shipping more frequently to different markets, consolidation helps you move with less risk, less cost, and more control.
