Why people doing Tran-shipment/Trans-loading Is that because costing,restriction ?

Hi Alex,

Can You please explain this line furtherly " It can also be used to suppport commercial restrictions"

Transhipment is a logistic manner for carriers to economise on economies of scale by means of use a container terminal as a hub to service multiple destinations, thus being more cost effective and efficient. It can also be used to suppport commercial restrictions.
