The empty container back to the shipping line on time
Container unloading near the Port of Santos
A full container sitting idle runs against the shipping line's free time. With unloading, Aldebaran takes the goods out of the container at our warehouse in São Vicente, 16 km from the Port of Santos, checks and organizes the cargo and returns the empty container to the shipping line on time.
That stops the demurrage clock, and the goods stay in storage, ready for scheduled delivery, all at once or in batches, whenever you need.
How it works
-
Container at the warehouse
The container leaves the terminal and arrives at our warehouse in São Vicente.
-
Unloading and check
The goods come out of the container and are checked and organized at the warehouse.
-
Empty returned
The empty container goes back to the shipping line within the free time, and the cargo is ready for scheduled delivery.
It makes sense when
- The shipping line's free time is running out and your warehouse can't take the cargo yet.
- You want to return the container and store the goods until you need them.
- The cargo will be delivered in batches, to different destinations.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions: Container unloading
If your question isn't here, the smart quote has room for you to tell us about your case.
What is container unloading?
It means taking the goods out of the container. Done at our warehouse, it frees the container to go back empty to the shipping line and keeps the cargo in storage until delivery.
Can the cargo stay at the warehouse after unloading?
Yes. It stays in the general warehouse, with documented inbound and outbound, and goes out when you ask, all at once or in batches.
