What makes Transpack’s groupage service more sustainable than regular sea freight?

Transpack ships regular groupage containers to 10 international destinations. Because we bundle shipments efficiently and only sail when the container is full:

  • unnecessary emissions are avoided
  • empty space is eliminated
  • the shipping network is used more responsibly

Our strategic hub near Rotterdam supports efficient consolidation, reducing the environmental impact of long‑distance transport.

How does sharing a container reduce CO₂ emissions?

When each customer ships a partly filled container, a lot of space and energy is wasted. Groupage maximizes container capacity. Because Transpack only sends containers when they are full, every cubic meter is used efficiently. This reduces the number of containers being moved worldwide and directly lowers emissions.

Is groupage really a more sustainable way to move internationally?

Yes. By combining multiple shipments into one shared container, groupage significantly reduces the total number of containers transported across the ocean. This means fewer sailings, lower fuel usage, and ultimately a smaller carbon footprint per customer.

What does groupage mean?

With a groupage shipment you share a shipping container with other customers who are moving to the same country. This is a cost, and space, efficient way to move. And rest assured, your goods are kept well separated from other goods in the container. Sharing the container costs can be a very attractive option, especially when shipping small volumes.
