Logistics and CFS
At MAAS, we provide end-to-end logistics solutions that streamline your supply chain and keep your goods moving efficiently. Our Container Freight Station (CFS) services are designed to handle cargo consolidation, deconsolidation, and everything in between, ensuring that your shipments are processed smoothly and on time.
What is a Container Freight Station (CFS)?
A Container Freight Station (CFS) is a facility where cargo is consolidated or de-consolidated for import or export before it’s loaded or unloaded from containers. CFS services play a vital role in the supply chain, particularly for businesses involved in international shipping, as they allow for the efficient handling of Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments, where goods from multiple shippers are consolidated into one container.
At MAAS, we provide expert CFS services that ensure your cargo is properly handled, securely stored, and quickly processed for onward transport.

Upon arrival, we deconsolidate shipments and handle all customs and delivery arrangements.
