Cooperation in transportation logistics offers freight forwarding companies new possibilities to increase the flexibility of their capacity and to reduce their operational costs. Such cooperation can happen between freight forwarders with subcontractors in vertical cooperation which is discussed in the IOTP in Chapters 4 and 5, or also between forwarders with equal partnership in a horizontal coalition as the case studied in Chapters 6 and 7.
