(Commonwealth) _ Cargo-partner, a leading international transport and logistics provider, has expanded its range of Less than Container Load (LCL) solutions by introducing a new sea freight consolidation service for dangerous goods shipped from China to Europe. This service is designed to accommodate a wide range of products and industries, including automotive components, car batteries, and electronic goods with various types of integrated batteries.

Cargo-partner’s new service offers weekly departures from Shanghai to Koper, with average port-to-port transit times of 29 days. Additionally, a door-to-door service is provided, which includes pickup and consolidation from any location in China, deconsolidation at cargo-partner’s logistics centers in Budapest and Ljubljana, and delivery to any destination in Europe.
