| The
most popular method of shipping personal effects is as seafreight. |
|
This has everything to do with the costs, it is the
cheapest way of transporting goods over a longer distance. |
| And the
options are numerous...
no matter if you want to ship a few boxes or a
complete container, (almost) every place on this planet can be reached
by sea (with, if necessary, some roadtransport in addition). |
| |
|
Particulierverschepen.nl
offer weekly departures to almost every port you can
think of. |
| The
shipping lines we use offer departures from Rotterdam and Antwerp,
meaning we can service you from both ports, for small shipments (groupage)
as well as for complete container shipments. |
| |
|
 |
| |
| With
groupage we collect small(er) shipments in our depot in Rotterdam and/or
Antwerp and ship them all out in the same container, cost effective
for all participants in such a (groupage) container of course, as in
this way all costs are spread over all the shipments. |
|
When you have a lot of personal effects to ship
it might be more cost-effective to use a complete container just for
your shipment. |
|
Containers come in two dimensions:
20ft and 40ft. |
| The
inner dimensions of a 20ft container
are approx (lxwxh) 600x230x230 cms (contents
30 m3), those of a 40ft container
approx (lxwxh) 1200x230x230 cms (contents 60 m3). |
| We can
also use a 40ft HC (High Cube) container, this type of
container even has a height of approx 270 cms (contents 70 m3). |
| |
| The
breakpoint groupage / complete container
is with approx 15 m3,
of course we are more than happy to advise you and to
work out the best- and most cost effective option for your particular
shipment. |
| |
| When
groupage, you can of course bring your goods to the port yourself, but
we can also collect them at your place. |
| In case
you need a complete container, we will of course also arrange the
trucking for you. |
