Ukuhamba ngomkhumbi okungenalutho, okwaziwa nangokuthi ukuhamba ngomkhumbi okungenalutho, kwenzeka lapho umthuthi wolwandle ekhansela ngenhloso ucingo lwechweba oluhleliwe noma lonke uhambo, olubizwa ngokuthi "ukuvala intambo." Lesi sinqumo samasu ngokuyinhloko sithonywa izici ezifana nesidingo esiphansi sendawo emikhunjini, ukuminyana kwemikhumbi, amandla ezimakethe, kanye nokusebenza kahle.
Iyunithi yezinhlamvu isho isethi yezimbobo ezinikezwa masonto onke inkampani yenethiwekhi, ngokuvamile ejikelezayo eyisiyingi esinosuku olumisiwe lokusuka embotsheni ngayinye. Isibonelo sentambo yenkampani yenethiwekhi kungaba i-Qingdao → Xiamen → Singapore → Rotterdam → Qingdao. Ukuhamba ngomkhumbi okungenalutho kungase kwenzeke lapho abathwali kudingeka balungise inani lezintambo ekuphenduleni amashifu esidingweni noma lapho besungula imifelandawonye emisha embonini yasolwandle.
Abathwali bangase futhi basebenzise amaseyili angenalutho ukuze bahlanganise ukuthunyelwa, ngaleyo ndlela behlise umthamo kanye nokugcina amanani azinzile. Ukwengeza, izici zangaphandle ezifana nesimo sezulu esibi zingaholela ekuhambeni ngomkhumbi okungenalutho. Kubathumeli, lokhu kungase kubangele izinselele njengoba kungase kudingeke ezinye izinhlelo zokuhamba. Ngokuvamile, abathwali bazisa amakhasimende kusenesikhathi, futhi ukuthunyelwa okuthintekayo kuhlehliselwa ukuhamba ngomkhumbi okulandelayo okutholakalayo.
