Ocean freight
Sea freight carries much of the world's heavy and bulky cargo, and it is where a clear plan matters most. We arrange the booking, the documents and the handovers, and tell you each step before it happens.
FCL (full container load)
FCL means the container carries only your cargo.
When to use it
When you have enough cargo to fill a container, or cargo that should not share space with other shippers.
What we handle
- Booking space with the shipping line
- Choosing the container type and size with you
- Coordinating pickup, loading and the port handover
- Preparing shipping instructions for the bill of lading (B/L), which the carrier issues
- Keeping you informed by email as the booking moves
What to send us for a quote
Cargo description, total weight and volume, how it is packed, origin, destination, ready date, Incoterm, and container size if you know it.

LCL is for cargo that does not fill a container. It travels with other shippers' cargo in a shared container.
When to use it
When your shipment is small, or you ship in smaller lots more often than a full container would allow.
What we handle
- Booking the cargo into a consolidation (a shared container)
- Coordinating delivery of your cargo to the consolidation point
- Documents for the shared container
- Coordinating unloading and release at destination
What to send us for a quote
Cargo description, number of packages, size of each package, total weight, origin, destination, ready date and Incoterm. LCL is usually priced on weight or volume, whichever is greater, so accurate sizes matter.

What we handle

- Confirming the temperature setting with you and passing it to the carrier
- Coordinating pre-cooling, loading and power supply at the port
- Documents for temperature-controlled cargo
What to send us for a quote

A sea-air shipment uses sea freight for the first leg and air freight for the second, on one plan.
When to use it
When a full air shipment costs more than you want, and a full sea shipment takes longer than you can wait.

- Booking with the sea carrier and the airline
- Coordinating the transfer between the two
- One document plan across both legs
What to send us for a quote
