Our Ocean Freight Logistics Solutions
Your business and shipment needs are unique, so we tailor our ocean freight solutions to your goals. We’ll help you find the right solution for your sea freight — whether less than container load (LCL) or full container load (FCL).
LCL Shipping
Smaller shipments can utilize an LCL solution. Less than container load shipping consolidates your order so that you only take up a part of a container, sharing the space with other freight. You get the same rates and services as a larger company while only paying for the space you occupy.
FCL Shipping
If you have enough goods to fill an entire freight container, FCL shipping is probably your best bet. Your cargo experiences reduced handling on its journey. A full container load is also cost-effective, allowing you to pay a flat rate rather than paying by the square foot.

Whether FCL or LCL is better for your shipment depends on your shipment’s volume, urgency and budget. FCL is often better if you have enough goods to fill an entire container, as it gives you a dedicated space to reduce handling and get a flat rate. LCL is better for smaller shipments since your cargo shares a container space with other freight, and you only pay for the space you occupy.

An international ocean freight quote often includes the base shipping cost, but customs clearance, duties, taxes and destination port fees are usually listed separately.
