FAQ
About Cabotage
Is the cabotage transit time much longer than road transport?
Not necessarily. Although maritime transit time may be longer on some routes, cabotage is typically more predictable, with lower risk of stoppages, traffic restrictions, or unexpected events common in long-haul trucking.
Is cabotage reliable, or does it often face delays?
It is a highly reliable operation, especially when integrated into a door-to-door logistics solution. Vessel schedules follow fixed windows, reducing variability and increasing delivery predictability.
What happens if the vessel is delayed?
In case of delays, the customer is informed in advance, and Log-In works in an integrated way to reschedule the road legs, minimizing impacts on the final delivery time.
How does door-to-door collection and delivery work?
Log-In handles origin pickup, maritime transport via cabotage, and final delivery, with real-time tracking throughout the entire journey.
Do Log-In handle the entire delivery, or do I need another provider?
With the Door-to-Door option, the operation is 100% integrated. Log-In manages the maritime, road, and port legs, eliminating the need for multiple suppliers.
Does the cargo stay idle at the port for a long time?
No. The operation is planned to reduce dwell time, with integration between vessel arrival, clearance, and the next logistics step.
Is there a higher risk of damage or loss?
On the contrary. Cabotage has lower rates of damage and loss, as there is less cargo handling and greater control during transport.
Does cabotage handle LCL or only FCL?
It handles both Less than Container Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL), providing flexibility according to volume and customer needs.
Do I need to use containers, or can it be break-bulk cargo?
The standard operation uses containers, ensuring greater protection, safety, and logistics standardization.
Is there a minimum volume requirement?
There is no fixed minimum volume. Cabotage is viable for both recurring small volumes and large-scale operations.
Is cabotage suitable for urgent cargo?
Yes, especially when the priority is predictability and schedule stability. For extremely urgent shipments, road transport may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
How does the total cost compare to road transport?
In most scenarios, especially on routes over 1,000 km, cabotage can reduce total costs by up to 30%, considering freight, fuel, tolls, operational risks, and greater tariff stability over time.
Is cabotage freight more stable, or does it fluctuate a lot?
Cobotage freight is more stable, with lower exposure to sudden fuel price changes and trucking seasonality.
Are there extra port charges?
All charges are clear and transparent, presented in advance in the proposal, with no surprises during the operation.
Is the documentation more complex than road transport?
No. Documentation is standardized and managed by Log-In, without adding complexity for the customer.
Do I need to adapt packaging or palletization?
In most cases, no. The technical team evaluates the cargo and provides guidance only if specific adjustments are needed.
Does cabotage handle chemical or IMO cargo?
Yes. Log-In operates with IMO cargo, following all required safety, handling, and documentation standards.
What happens in case of an incident?
Log-In immediately activates contingency and insurance protocols, keeping the customer informed and providing full support.
Is the cabotage operation door-to-door or port-to-port?
Cobotage can operate in different models: port-to-port, port-to-door, door-to-port, or door-to-door.
The main difference is the level of responsibility assumed by Log-In and the convenience for the customer.
In the door-to-door model, Log-In manages the entire logistics operation, from origin pickup to final delivery.
In other models, the customer handles part of the legs, such as pickup or delivery.
The ideal model depends on cargo profile, customer structure, and the desired level of integration.
Does cabotage work well during peak demand periods?
Yes. Cabotage is especially strategic during seasonal peaks, as it reduces dependence on trucks and road bottlenecks.
Do I need a customs broker to use cabotage?
No. Log-In manages the entire operational and documentation process.
Can the cargo get wet inside the container?
No. Containers are sealed and prepared to protect cargo from moisture and weather conditions.
What is the total transit time?
Transit time varies according to origin and destination, but it is planned and communicated in advance, ensuring predictability from start to finish.
