Streamlining Sea Freight Consolidation for Complex Supply Chains

With a significant portion of their cargo transported via sea freight, our client needed a partner to manage large volumes of LCL (less-than-container-load) shipments between Ireland and key global regions. Their primary trade routes involved importing from India, China, and Southeast Asia with exports primarily to North and South America. Key concerns included ensuring cargo safety, maintaining cost efficiency, and meeting strict delivery deadlines.

Leveraging our expertise as market leaders in LCL sea freight consolidation, TCB Group developed a tailored solution to manage their supply chain challenges. We worked closely with our global network of partners to:

  • Ensure cargo safety: Overseas partners inspected, crated, and packed shipments to meet stringent transit requirements, minimising risk of damage.
  • Offer cost-effective solutions: By providing weekly consolidation services into Dublin and Belfast, we optimised shipping schedules and reduced overall costs.
  • Deliver seamless operations: Our team coordinated every stage of the process, from supplier collection to door-to-door delivery, ensuring timely arrivals.

Thanks to our strategic hubs and accredited CFS (Container Freight Station) warehouses, TCB Group facilitated reliable imports and exports, eliminating delays and cargo damages. With our advanced tracking tools, all stakeholders received real-time updates, ensuring full visibility throughout the supply chain.
