What happens after release

Once the release order is issued, the clock is no longer about customs — it is about equipment and gate slots. The container has to be picked up within its free time, hauled to your site, unloaded, and returned empty within the detention window. Every one of those steps needs a truck that was booked in advance.

Match the truck to the cargo

• Container chassis / trailer — for a sealed container moving door to door.
• Flatbed — for machinery, steel and out-of-gauge cargo that cannot be containerised.
• Box truck — for stripped cargo and smaller distribution runs after deconsolidation.
• Special handling — heavy lifts and oversize loads need route planning and permits, not just a bigger truck.

Where the delivery date is actually lost

1. Booking haulage after release instead of before it. Trucks are a market; in peak season the good ones are committed days ahead.
2. No receiving plan at the destination. A truck waiting for a forklift, a gate pass or a warehouse shift is a truck being charged for waiting.
3. Ignoring the empty return. Detention keeps running until the box is back.
4. No buffer yard. When the site cannot receive on the day, a shipment with nowhere to go stays in the port at port rates.

Yard storage as a pressure valve

Moving a container out of the terminal into a storage yard stops port charges and buys you the flexibility to deliver when your site is genuinely ready — usually far cheaper than leaving cargo where it landed.

One provider, one timeline

Ranisy operates from Cairo, Suez and Ain Sokhna, so clearance and haulage are planned as one sequence: trucks reserved against the expected release date, yard capacity ready if the site slips, and the empty returned on time. Tell us the arrival date and the delivery address and we will plan the last leg backwards from the day you need the goods.
