Types of Warehousing
Production Warehousing:
This type of warehousing is typically located in an industrial area, close to manufacturing and production activities. This type of warehousing is required to ensure an even flow of raw materials or components so that the manufacturing process is not disrupted by material shortages.
Warehousing for storage, sorting and consolidation:
Large inbound shipments are received and sorted into smaller orders to be shipped to customers. This type of warehouse can act as a distribution centre or used as a long-term storage facility .
Warehousing for Hazardous Cargo:
Dangerous chemicals and other hazardous cargo cannot be stored at any location. These warehouses are specially equipped to deal with possible spillages and other disasters that may occur. Expect to pay a premium, as special rules and regulations apply to the storage of hazardous cargo.
