Liner vessels sail according to a schedule, can be planned precisely and are predictable. Nevertheless, in addition to the transport of goods over the ocean, complex logistics services are necessary for cargo owners in producing countries and markets.

Columbus Logistics Services GmbH not only assures optimal shipment flow before and after the ocean leg, but also undertakes extensive, individualized logistics tasks for customers as part of its value-added services.

Similar services are also offered and reliably performed for smaller shipments that do not fill a whole container, so-called LCL consolidation. These services can include packing and unpacking containers, port services, handling all the relevant import or export documents, expert intermediate storage, breaking down larger shipments into individual consignments, labelling, customs clearance, inland distribution, arranging transport insurance, and much, much more.
