What Is the Difference Between Stuffing and Stripping at the Port?

In the world of shipping and logistics, the terms stuffing and stripping refer to two essential processes commonly encountered at ports, especially in containerized export-import activities. While they may sound technical, understanding the distinction between them is crucial—particularly for businesses aiming to streamline their supply chains.

What Is Stuffing?

Stuffing refers to the process of loading goods into a container. This step is typically carried out at the exporter’s warehouse, a container yard, or directly at the port, depending on the type of shipment and the agreement between sender and receiver. The goal of stuffing is to ensure that goods are packed neatly, securely, and efficiently in terms of space and weight distribution.

Key aspects of the stuffing process include:

  • Using pallets or specialized packaging to prevent cargo from shifting.
  • Checking documents and recording loaded items.
  • Involving trained personnel to prevent damage.

What Is Stripping?

Stripping is the reverse of stuffing—it involves unloading goods from the container once they arrive at the destination port. This process can be done at the port, at a depot, or directly at the receiver’s warehouse, depending on the chosen logistics arrangement.

Important elements of the stripping process include:

  • Physical inspection and documentation of unloaded goods.
  • Monitoring for any potential damage or loss.
  • Further distribution to the final recipient, especially when using door-to-door service.

PT SPIL (Salam Pacific Indonesia Lines) offers flexible and integrated logistics services, including both door-to-door and port-to-port delivery models—each closely tied to stuffing and stripping processes.

  • Door-to-Door: PT SPIL manages the entire journey—from picking up goods at the sender's premises (stuffing), sea transport, to final delivery at the recipient's location (stripping). This service is ideal for businesses seeking convenience and efficiency without dealing with the technical port-side handling.
