Manufacturing & General Cargo Logistics
Raw material inbound, finished goods outbound — the door for every other cargo we move.
OVERVIEW
How we serve manufacturing & general cargo.
Most manufacturers and trading houses do not need a specialist mode — they need one desk that handles raw material inbound and finished goods outbound without dropping the paperwork in between.
Petrobulk provides that: FCL and LCL sea freight, air freight where speed pays for itself, road and rail inland, customs clearance and warehousing — for machinery, packaged goods, components, consumer supply chains and general cargo of every kind.
Sector challenges
- Split responsibility
Separate forwarders, brokers and transporters leave gaps that surface only when something goes wrong.
- Working-capital pressure
Cargo sitting at a port or in a warehouse is cash that is not producing anything.
- Documentation errors
HS misclassification and invoice mismatches trigger queries, inspections and delay.
- Mixed cargo profiles
One shipper often needs FCL, LCL and air within the same month across different lanes.
How we solve it
- One accountable desk
Booking, clearance, transport and delivery coordinated by a single point of contact.
- Right-sized mode mix
FCL, LCL, air, road or rail selected per consignment against value, urgency and volume.
- Clean documentation
HS classification, invoices and declarations checked before filing to avoid customs queries.
- Warehousing & distribution
Storage and onward distribution arranged so cargo moves rather than parks.
