# Transship and Preship Cargo

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-8.31/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/cargoes/maintain-cargoes/cargo-drawer-actions/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 transportation of a cargo from a location to that cargo's load port in an existing cargo booking.

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.31/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/cargoes/maintain-cargoes/cargo-drawer-actions/transship-and-preship-cargoes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
