{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Direct transportation","description":"A shipment moves from the shipper's premises to the consignee without any change of conveyance, transshipment, or consolidation with third-party cargo – that is the essence of direct transportation. The concept matters most for sensitive, time-critical, or high-value goods where every additional handling step increases the risk of damage or delay. In ocean freight, it means a direct port call with no transshipment hub; in air freight, a nonstop or through-service without rerouting or reloading.
