LCL Plus - Worldwide Consolidation
Soon after the start of the containerisation the container carriers realized that the “Less Container Load” business was not their thing. As a matter of fact, the historians disagree on this point and many say that the forwarders who started to develop consolidation services were simply better at it than the carriers.
Consolidation requires flexibility, a customer-friendly attitude, an efficient organisation and a reliable network of agents and container freight stations.
This is exactly what the members of the LCL Plus division develop together and which is still growing every year. The customers who are channelling their part loads through the CGLI network are enjoying a very good service and can rest assure that their customers also receive a red carpet service on the other side.
Most of the services are based on a “hub and spoke system”, whereby regional hubs in the various regions receive full containers with consolidated cargoes for the local market but also for other destinations in the region.
In accordance with the general philosophy of the CGLI Network (Simply strong together) the members of the LCL Plus division are working closely together, exchange information in a smooth way and make sure the customers, regardless whether they are on the shipping or on the receiving end, get a top quality service.
