2. Devanning (Container Unloading)

Devanning, sometimes called destuffing or unloading, is the process of unpacking goods from shipping containers after arrival at port or warehouse:

• It typically involves:

  1. Inspecting the container and verifying documentation.

  2. Opening the container and safely unloading cargo using forklifts or manual labor.

  3. Checking items against packing lists.

  4. Sorting, palletizing, inspecting for damage, and staging goods for further distribution

• There are two main types:

  • FCL (Full Container Load) devanning — exclusive to one shipper, unloaded at a final warehouse.

  • LCL (Less‑than‑Container Load) devanning, also known as de‑consolidation, for mixed consignments unloaded at a container freight station

• Benefits of efficient devanning include cost savings, reduced risk of damage, faster turnaround (less demurrage), better inventory accuracy, and improved supply‑chain flow
