One-Way Move

A one-way move may help to cost-effectively reposition an empty container from one location to another once freight has been delivered.

EMPTY CONTAINER REPOSITIONING

One-Way also referred to as “Cabotage” is the cost-efficient process of repositioning empty containers.

Global trade imbalance causes the accumulation of surplus containers in one location and a shortage in another, thereby creating the need to reposition empty containers in ports where there is a demand.

We offer One-Way Lease to users such as freight forwarders, NVOCC (Non Vessel Common Carrier) and Shipping Companies. This service enables the opportunity to lease a container for a one-way trip and move cargo to another destination by paying the usual freight charges. Customers can pick-up the container in one location and return the container in another location (subject to Seaco’s T&Cs and predetermined locations).

Generally, this is a win-win solution, as both parties can benefit from the One-Way move, due to streamlining operations and helping to keep transport and re-allocation costs to a minimum.

KEY BENEFITS OF ONE-WAY LEASING

COST SAVING

One-Way shipping can help to reduce transportation costs due to enabling Lessee’s to use the containers for the movement of freight for a one-way trip, helping to get the otherwise empty container repositioned at the desired port location, but only at the cost of usual freight charges.

REDUCED TRANSIT TIME

One-Way helps to streamline the logistical supply-chain by shipping directly from port one location to another, avoiding the need for cross-border points and trans shipment.  This helps the cargo to reach its destination in a faster time frame.

IMPROVED INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Cabotage can help improved inventory management by aligning inventory with production schedules and demand fluctuations.

SUSTAINABILITY

One-Way shipping is an eco-friendlier way of transporting cargo.  The sustainability co-benefits help improve the efficiency of road transport by reducing empty container trips, whilst helping to relieve road congestion and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
