Due to the depth of the sea, it can easily handle enormous vessels, particularly in the 8th and 9th berths, which are earmarked for huge cargo ships.

This means that passenger transit via the port is efficient, as is cargo movement to and from the port. Excellent road and rail connectivity is critical given the port's yearly passenger volume of around 1.7 million passengers from cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Saga Cruises, and Fred. Olsen Cruise Line, as well as local cruise companies such as Cunard Line and P&amp;O Cruises.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the port handles up to <span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>820,000 autos as part of its vehicle freight trade<\/strong><\/span>. It is meant to handle vehicle storage, with 80 hectares dedicated to auto storage and five multi-story parking garages. The port is home to the UK's second-biggest container terminal, with an annual capacity of around 1.5 million TEUs. Every day, it clears 23 containers for shipping to and from important freight-producing areas in the UK, including the Midlands, Scotland, the East Coast, and the North West.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-190-4-0-4\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"11\" ><div class=\"featured-widget panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-190-4-0-4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"London_port\"><\/span>London port<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This port, which is partially on the Thames and partly on the North Sea, serves as a gateway to the United Kingdom's financial hub.

This is not a mandatory point of import \/ export, but we advise you to master them for several reasons. First, because talking about it will help you in negotiating with the supplier by showing that you are not a beginner in the matter. But also, because their use can make it possible to avoid misunderstandings which can turn into disaster for your business. Generally, suppliers use 3 different Incoterms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>EXW (Ex Work)<\/strong><\/span>: With this incoterm, the buyer is responsible for the entire logistics process from the origin (the supplier's factory or warehouse).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>FOB (Free On Board)<\/strong><\/span>: Under this incoterm, the seller will be responsible for the entire process in the country of origin (road freight as well as all charges related to the terminal of origin).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>CFR (Cost and Freight)<\/strong><\/span>: This incoterm is like the FOB except that it also includes international freight (payable by the seller).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>CIF (Cost Insurance and Freight)<\/strong><\/span>: Finally, this Incoterm is exactly like the previous one (CFR) except that it also includes cargo insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weight_in_Kg_and_volume_in_m3\"><\/span><strong>Weight in Kg and volume in m<sup>3<\/sup><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The volume (in cubic meters) and the weight (in Kg) are probably <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>the 2 factors which will play the most on the price of your transport<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. It is therefore important to define them precisely so as not to have any bad surprises on the day. <em>Note that for sea freight, the volumetric weight (which is the ratio of volume to weight) is always equal to 1 m<sup>3<\/sup> = 1000 Kg. It is therefore almost impossible to rely on the weight even if it is significant for other services, in particular with regard to the loading \/ unloading of the container.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nature_of_products\"><\/span><strong>Nature of products<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>Some products are sometimes more complex than others to handle<\/strong><\/em><\/span>, in which case it will be necessary to take adequate measures not to cause damage to the goods. Note that there are also restrictions on certain products which may be restricted or even prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Departure_and_arrival_address\"><\/span>Departure and arrival address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Again, an important point of your future transport: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>where should the service start and where should it stop?<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Note that it is important to clearly clarify the conditions of access. For example, goods to be collected on the 5th floor without an elevator do not require the same energy as pallets ready to be removed, and therefore this will be reflected in the price of the service. It is also important to clarify who will handle the loading and unloading of goods.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Packing_services\"><\/span>Packing services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Last point to clarify, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>the packaging of your goods<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. This service is particularly expensive since it directly involves a packaging team and everything that is human factor is automatically synonymous with expenses. This step is too often sloppy when it will condition the safety of your goods throughout the transport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-190-4-0-8\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"15\" ><div class=\"featured-widget panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-190-4-0-8\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-894\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/sea-freight-services.png\" alt=\"sea freight services\" width=\"850\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/sea-freight-services.png 850w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/sea-freight-services-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/sea-freight-services-768x501.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-190-4-0-9\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"16\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_you_work_with_a_local_freight_forwarder_like_DocShipper_UK\"><\/span>Why should you work with a local freight forwarder like DocShipper UK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What could be more practical for an exporter to negotiate directly with a local freight forwarder?
