# Transship and Preship Cargoes

A **transshipment** is the shipment of cargo to an intermediate destination, then by a different vessel to another destination. It is a type of [relet](/release-5.37/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/cargoes/relet-cargoes.md) created from a cargo booking from a particular discharge port at the end of an original booking.

A **preshipment** is another type of relet created from a cargo booking. It is the shipment of cargo from a location to that cargo's load port in an existing cargo booking. This includes the transfer to the vessel transporting from the load port.

Transshipments and preshipments are listed at the bottom of the cargo drawer under "Relets and Transshipments".
