SRBUsually, the owner or consignor decides which route the cargo will take. Normally, for recurring shipments or multiple shipments, the transport route is usually not changing.

This was the case with the project cargo from the Czech Republic to distant Vietnam.

“Project cargo is valuable, as a huge number of ‘classic’ goods travel with or after it, which subsequently arrive in containers,” commented Klemen Butala from Comark on the successfully completed deal.
