What is Transloading?

Transloading is the process of transferring cargo from one mode of transport to another, such as from a ship to a truck or from a train to a ship. Transloading is often necessary when the destination of the cargo is not accessible by the original mode of transport, or when the cargo needs to be consolidated or separated for logistical reasons.
