8 things you need to know about good palletization

This is another thread brought to you by Freightway Logistics Solutions

1. Pallets came in various forms wood, plastics and aluminium. Plastics pallets are more durable than wooden pallets. They are considerably more conveyor / automation friendly than wooden pallets as their size and shape are more uniform and consistent

Plastics pallets are cleaner and easier to wash than wooden pallets which tend to splinter. They are also asier to track or label for better inventory management. They can be designed for heavier loads as compared to conventional wooden units

2. Pallets also comes in various sizes. They are :

32″ x 40″
32″ x 48″
40″ x 48″ (most common)
48″ x 64″
48″ x 72″

3. They also multiple different types of pallets for different products, functions, racking, shipping and warehouse

4. Obvious advantages of Palletization include:
Unitisation. Meaning the extreme elimination of package handling – movement becomes much easier and faster and also the high reduction of labor usage via mechanization and automation

5. However, palletization has its disadvantages too:
There are still some form of risk of cargo damage. Palletization increases stowage factor during the stuffing of container and also somewhat reduces ship’s stability factor (center of gravity)

6. When using pallets, please make sure strong pallets are used (that suits the cargo). Cargo must be strapped sturdily onto pallet. Pallet loads should be carefully stacked and stable. A shrink wrapping will be so much important to further protect your cargoes

7. Pallets are also used for products of irregular shapes. Good and proper strapping will be needed to secure the cargo on to the pallet

8. Measuring palletized cargoes. The size and dimension of your cargoes are important information that should be given to your freight forwarder for them to gauge the space required. The best way to present the information is to send it along with a photo of it.

All you NEED to know about Demurrage & Detention

This is a thread

You’ve probably heard enough of people saying “D & D” but have no inkling of it really meant. Demurrage and detention are among the most common terms that importers, exporters and freight forwarders encounter on a regular basis

There is also confusion in understanding the difference between these two terms. In many cases, these costs can be detrimental to the extent that customers abandon their cargoes to avoid paying for hefty charges.

D&D is largely prevalent among import cases and also for export
