What is the difference between pre-carriage and oncarriage This is one of the topics many people are unsure of.. A simple description would be Pre-Carriage - Anything that happens BEFORE the container is loaded On-Carriage - Anything that happens AFTER the container is discharged To explain further : Pre-Carriage - is the term given to any inland movement activity that takes place prior to the container being loaded at a port of loading.. Such activity can take place at the same location as the port of loading, or at a location close to the port of loading.. Example : Empty container is released in Johannesburg and moved to Pretoria for packing and then moved by road or rail to Durban port.. This activity is known as PRE-CARRIAGE.. If the activity is performed by the shipping line on behalf of the client, that is called Carrier Haulage.. In this case, normally the bill of lading shows place of origin as Pretoria.. If the activity is performed by the client or their transporter, that is called Merchant Haulage.. On-Carriage - is the term given to any inland movement activity that takes place after the container is discharged at a port of discharge.. Such activity can take place at the same location as the port of discharge, or at a location close to the port of discharge.. Example : Full container is discharged at Durban and then moved by rail to Johannesburg City Deep terminal and then further moved by road to Sasolburg for unpacking.. This activity is known as ON-CARRIAGE.. If the activity is performed by the shipping line on behalf of the client, that is called Carrier Haulage.. In this case, normally the bill of lading shows final destination as Sasolburg.. If the activity is performed by the client or their transporter, that is called Merchant Haulage..
