Shipment items
We register different senders, different addresses and different product groups separately on a pallet, box, weight and m³ basis.
Planning inputs
What we review in a groupage and consolidation plan before combining your cargo in a single vehicle
Consolidation point
We place the warehouse where the cargo will be collected, the merge date and the grouping order at the center of the groupage plan.
Distribution plan
If there are multiple delivery addresses at arrival, we plan the unloading order and appointments in advance.
Scope
In groupage and consolidation transport, we economically combine different cargo in a single vehicle.
In groupage transport on Turkey-origin Europe and Balkan lines, we collect cargo from different senders or different points at the agreed consolidation warehouse and combine it within a single vehicle capacity. Because capacity is shared, no single shipment carries the full vehicle cost; groupage transport becomes an economical solution for low-volume shipments.
We do not see consolidation as merely putting cargo in the same vehicle. We manage the collection of cargo, grouping at the warehouse, separate labeling, stacking safety and the distribution order at arrival within the same plan.
Operations
Operational topics in groupage and consolidation service
Cargo collection
We collect cargo from different senders at the consolidation point and register it.
Grouping and labeling
We label each shipment separately and group it by delivery address and delivery priority.
Stacking safety
In the consolidated vehicle, we plan packaging strength and stacking order so the cargo does not damage each other.
Distribution coordination
For multiple delivery addresses at arrival, we set up the unloading order and appointments in advance.
Which sectors
Consolidation adds value for companies that export regularly in small batches.
Manufacturers that ship regularly in small batches such as textiles, non-food consumer products, spare parts, packaging and decoration, along with businesses that have several senders to the same region, benefit most from groupage transport. We evaluate your shipment frequency and volume together and recommend a consolidated plan.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about groupage and consolidation transport
What is the difference between groupage transport and partial transport?
Both rely on the logic of shared capacity; groupage focuses especially on consolidating cargo from different senders or points in a single vehicle, while partial focuses on the piece cargo of a single sender.
Where is consolidation done?
We collect the cargo at the agreed consolidation warehouse and, after grouping and stacking checks, load it onto a single vehicle; we determine the collection point and date together in advance.
Can you deliver to different addresses?
Yes. If there are multiple delivery addresses at arrival, we include the unloading order, appointments and distribution plan in the groupage organization from the start.
In which cases is groupage transport advantageous?
For cargo that does not fill a vehicle on its own and ships regularly or in small batches, it lowers the cost by sharing capacity; it is ideal for low-volume exporters.
Is there a risk of cargo getting mixed up?
We label each shipment separately, register it and separate it in the stacking plan; this way the cargo moves in the consolidated vehicle without getting mixed up.
