Ocean Freight
FCL and LCL ocean freight with reliable sailing schedules and competitive rates
Ocean freight remains the backbone of most supply chains, and the margin for error is usually in the details: equipment availability, cut-off times, container weight verification and demurrage. Our ocean team manages each of these steps so your containers keep moving and your landed cost stays predictable.
We keep allocations with multiple carriers on core trade lanes, which gives you a genuine choice of transit times and a fallback when a service is rolled. For LCL shipments we consolidate at our own origin warehouse, with photographic loading reports and a defined weekly departure.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer both FCL and LCL?
Yes. Full container load shipments are booked directly with carriers, and less than container load cargo consolidates on weekly departures with a defined cut-off.
Can you handle reefer and out-of-gauge equipment?
Reefer, open top, flat rack and platform equipment can be arranged on most lanes, together with the lifting and lashing requirements they need.
How do I avoid demurrage and detention?
We issue the arrival pre-alert with the free time stated, clear import before the vessel berths where possible, and flag the last free day so equipment returns on time.
