Port Terminals & Air Cargo Gateways
Where your cargo actually moves
Ports and airports are where a shipment is most exposed — terminal handling, gate moves, storage clocks, and customs all happen here, and a stalled container at a terminal turns into demurrage and detention fast. Holo Cargo coordinates the terminal legs of every move so your cargo keeps moving and the storage clock doesn't run against you.
We work through the principal container terminals and air cargo gateways on every continent, covering the top container ports by TEU volume and the major air freight hubs.
Container port terminals
At origin and destination ports, Holo arranges the terminal-side work that sits around the ocean leg:
- Terminal handling (THC) — loading and discharge handling at both ends, quoted as a transparent line item
- Drayage and gate moves — first and last-mile road between terminal, depot, and door
- Container freight stations (CFS) — LCL deconsolidation and consolidation at the CFS
- Demurrage and detention management — we track the free-time clock and push to clear cargo before charges start
Air cargo gateways
At the major air freight terminals, Holo coordinates the ground handling that bookends the flight:
- Terminal handling at origin and destination airports
- Build-up and break-down of air cargo units
- Customs presentation and release at the gateway, tied into the customs brokerage workflow
- Last-mile delivery from the airport to the consignee's door
Customs brokerage
Clearance, ISF/AMS filing, and release coordinated at the terminal so cargo doesn't sit.

Keeping the storage clock on your side
Most unexpected freight charges originate at a terminal — demurrage on a container that overstays at the port, detention on equipment held too long, or storage on air cargo that isn't cleared promptly. Holo's operators manage this actively:
- Free-time tracking — we know when the clock starts and what it costs if it runs out
- Early customs filing — clearance is prepared ahead of arrival so cargo can be released on time
- Proactive release — drayage and delivery are lined up before the container hits the ground, not after
- One status view — terminal position, customs status, and onward move in a single place, available the moment you ask
