Cargo Handling

Cargo handling encompasses the various processes and activities involved in the movement, loading, unloading, and stowage of cargo during transportation. It includes the physical handling of goods at various points in the supply chain, such as warehouses, ports, terminals, and distribution centers. Cargo handling operations involve using specialized equipment, such as cranes, forklifts, and conveyor systems, to efficiently move cargo between transportation modes, vessels, containers, or storage facilities. Proper cargo handling is critical for ensuring the safe, secure, and timely transportation of goods, minimizing damage, and optimizing the overall logistics process.
