Logistics Knowledge Points
Matson is a company engaged in international shipping. The main route is from Shanghai to Long Beach Port. The average port arrival time is 10 to 11 days. It is currently the fastest shipping container line in the West America. And Maston has its own terminal in the Port of Long Beach, and only Maston has an independent terminal in the United States. There is only one shipping operator in the entire terminal, which is very efficient. After arriving at the port on Sunday, it can be dispatched to the entire Greater Los Angeles on Monday. area.
1. Fast timeliness
First of all, let's talk about the fast that Matson has been emphasizing. Matson ships all have a loading capacity of around 3000-4000T. In order to ensure the full load rate, Matson will refer to historical data to allocate space when placing space for each customer. If there are many cases of overbooking and then withdrawing from customs, Matson will reduce the space on the next batch of ships. Therefore, every freight forwarder will cherish and care for historical data just like a seller operating an Amazon account.
2. Why can the voyage be precisely controlled within 11 days?
At present, what we usually call the Matson Clipper is from Shanghai Port.
It is sent directly to the Port of Long Beach (Long Beach, referred to as LB) in the United States. Judging from the route map, it is across the Pacific Ocean, and there are no other ports in the middle, and it goes directly to Long Beach in the west of the United States. Therefore, the route time is short, and the normal sailing time is 11 days. Since Matson arrived in Los Angeles, it will be loaded on the ship and continue to Hawaii immediately after unloading, and this is a domestic transportation, so the terminal will arrange enough manpower to allow Matson's ship to complete the unloading within the fastest speed after arriving at the port. and shipping process. In the US, the front and frame are separated, and Mason can ensure that each frame is matched with the box and waiting for the front to pull. At such a refined level of operation, every detail should be responsible for the final result. Therefore, the above is also an important reason for the Mason aging guarantee.
3. Is ocean delivery any good?
The Shanghai style that the market has been emphasizing. In fact, Haipai is a good product. To put it simply, shipping by sea means that after the goods arrive at the destination port, they are directly pulled to the freight station of UPS or FedEx, and then directly dismantled on the assembly line for sorting and flow to the final destination.
Its disadvantage is that due to the small order quantity, basically 100KGS can start, so the goods are more miscellaneous. Once the name of the goods is mixed, it will easily affect the customs clearance time at the port of destination.
Fourth, the price!
The current price of Matson, from the perspective of historical data, is still normal, and even the price gap between it and ordinary ships has narrowed a lot. The current situation of ordinary ships is that there is a shortage of containers, market customers are rushing for containers, and many links will increase additional costs. Matson is expensive, but he has an audience of his own. Still have to choose on demand, each seller's needs are different.
