# Transfer Cargo

A **cargo transfer** is a type of [transshipment](transship-and-preship-cargoes) where a cargo is transported on two voyages. The cargo is transported on the first voyage to an intermediate port and then further transported on a second voyage to its final port.

You start with a cargo with a load and discharge port which represents the first part of the cargoes journey (on the first voyage). From a system perspective, the action "transfer" creates a new cargo for the second part of the journey (on the second voyage).

The original cargo will receive cargo type "_Has Transfer_", and the new cargo will receive cargo type "_Transfer_."

The following fields are synchronised:

* cargo quantity and measurement unit&#x20;
* commodity
* discharge rate + terms of _has transfer_ cargo = load rate + terms of _transfer_ cargo

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