Our integrated supply chain solutions optimise inventory levels and can reduce logistics costs. At Damco’s transload and cross dock facilities, cargo is transferred from (ocean) containers directly into outbound trailers and consolidated with other freight to final customer with little or no storage in between.

Main advantages include: Eliminates the need for a central DC at port of entry Postponement of final allocation of goods until the PO/container reaches port of entry Reduces average inland transport costs Reduces number of receiving docks at your DC More efficient scheduling of labor at DC Damco’s services include Container drayage from port to cross-dock facility Multiple container arrivals same day for de-vanning Split of PO/SKU based on your distribution allocation Automatic sorting and straight in-out concept Dispatch of trailers by road or rail to inland DC Domestic Advance Shipment Notification Read more SUBSCRIBE TO DAMCO NEWSLETTER Receive the latest Damco news via e-mail LATEST ARTICLE ON DAMCO BLOG New European Union Customs Code comes into force 19 September, 2016 Read more Blog Posts BLOG REGIONAL HUB ALLOCATION How well placed are your warehouses?
