Shipping Library
Guides and explainers on container shipping, batch booking, incoterms and documentation.
Batch booking basics
How batch capacity works, why queue order matters, and how qualification differs from a traditional booking request. Start with our How it works page, then read the deep-dives on the blog.
Documents & customs
Bills of lading, VGM, customs declarations and dangerous-goods paperwork: what is needed, when, and who provides what on a batch booking.
Incoterms & insurance
Which incoterms fit batch shipping, where risk transfers, and when cargo insurance is worth it (almost always on high-value cargo — see Hague-Visby liability limits).
