A Cargo Hub Strategy is a network planning approach in which a carrier or logistics provider consolidates and redistributes freight at strategically positioned transshipment points (airports, seaports, multimodal centers). In practice, shipments arrive at the hub, are sorted by destination region and bundled, then forwarded on efficient trunk routes. This model reduces handling costs, lowers overall transit time, and improves capacity utilization compared to point-to-point networks.
