For instance, it would have been a lot more expensive for an individual shipper to move up to 200kg cargo by sea, as a single item in a container all the way from Asia, America, or Europe to Nigeria but thanks to consolidation, that can be achieved at a much lower cost. So, the logistics solution that Consolidation brings to the average commodity trader or importer is quite remarkable in the sense that people pay less when their shipments are consolidated and transported in group as a single shipment. Then, at destination warehouse, the consolidated shipments are deconsolidated or separated and delivered to individual consignees after the necessary regulatory formalities.
