A Container Freight Station (CFS) is a facility where cargo is consolidated or deconsolidated, and where containers are loaded or unloaded from various shipments for import or export.
A Container Freight Station plays a critical role in the logistics chain by serving as a central point for the handling and temporary storage of goods. At a CFS, smaller shipments (less-than-container load or LCL) are consolidated into full container loads (FCL) for export, or conversely, deconsolidated from FCL into smaller shipments for import. These facilities are equipped to manage the logistics of cargo, including sorting, labeling, and customs clearance procedures. Utilizing a CFS can streamline the shipping process, reduce costs by optimizing container space, and facilitate efficient handling of multiple shipments. This makes CFS operations essential for businesses looking to enhance their supply chain efficiency and manage the complexities of international shipping.
