To fail to take cargo on a ship.

OBS

Situations where cargo is left behind at the loading port occur mainly when a shipping line has insufficient space on board its ship for the volume of bookings taken, or when cargo arrives after the ship has completed loading. Usually the cargo is not turned away upon delivery to the pier but is accepted by the carrier and despatched aboard a subsequent vessel.
