Feeder refers to a smaller vessel, truck, or transport service that collects cargo from smaller ports or locations and transports it to larger hubs or mainline vessels for long-haul shipping. In logistics, feeder services are crucial for connecting regional or local distribution points with global transport networks, ensuring goods move efficiently from origin to destination. Feeders are widely used in maritime, air, and road transport to optimize shipping costs, consolidate shipments, and maintain timely delivery schedules.
