What is usually carried in this type of cargo?

The principle of groupage can be applied to practically any product, because not all customers have enough products to order a full transport. The situation may be different with the transport of dangerous goods, where it would not be desirable to put dangerous goods together with other goods.

The most common types of groupage shipments are the supply of construction materials, the supply of food products, the supply of various furniture and household goods, as well as the door-to-door deliveries of goods.

In maritime transport, groupage also occurs in areas such as the relocation of production facilities and other technological equipment. Particularly in the case of larger import orders, the transportation of groupage cargo is more financially advantageous than undertaking to pay for transportation services alone.
