General and out-of-gauge cargo
Import logistics project
Imports through the Port of Santos: pickup, warehouse and delivery
Your cargo has arrived at the Port of Santos, and every day it sits at the terminal costs you twice: the terminal charges storage and the shipping line charges demurrage on the container, which is neither yours nor ours. Aldebaran picks up the container and takes it where it makes the most sense: straight to your facility, anywhere in Brazil, or to our warehouse, 16 km from the Port of Santos.
At the warehouse, the cargo comes out of the container and the empty container goes back to the shipping line. The demurrage clock stops, and the goods wait in storage, at a lower cost than at the terminal, until the day you ask for delivery, all at once or in parts. Pickup, warehousing and delivery with a single company: that's what we call a logistics project.
How it works
-
We get the details
You or your customs broker send us the terminal, the container number, the B/L and the shipping line's free time deadline.
-
We pick up at the terminal
Once the cargo is released, we schedule the pickup and collect the container with a container chassis.
-
Unloading and return
At the warehouse, the cargo comes out of the container and the empty container goes back to the shipping line on time. The demurrage clock stops.
-
Delivery when you need it
The goods stay in storage and go to your address on the date you choose, all at once or in batches.
It makes sense when
- The shipping line's free time is running out and your warehouse can't take the cargo yet.
- The terminal is charging storage and the goods won't be used for a while.
- You receive the whole container but use the goods a little at a time.
- Your plant or your customers need scheduled delivery, in batches.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions: Import
If your question isn't here, the smart quote has room for you to tell us about your case.
Do you pick up at any terminal in the Port of Santos?
We operate at the terminals of Santos and Guarujá, on both sides of the Port of Santos. Tell us the terminal in the quote and we'll confirm the operation.
Do I need to send the cargo to the warehouse, or do you deliver directly?
Both. If your facility can receive it, we deliver straight from the terminal. If not, the cargo waits in our warehouse and goes out when you ask.
Who handles customs clearance?
Customs clearance is handled by your customs broker, and Aldebaran works alongside them. Once the cargo is released, the pickup is scheduled.
What types of container do you carry?
We carry containers of every type. Tell us the type and quantity in the quote.
