Ocean Freight

Ocean freight is the most cost-effective way to move large volumes across the globe. With full-container and shared-container options, fixed sailing schedules and complete port-to-door coordination, your cargo travels safely and on budget.

From factory floor to final destination, dedicated coordinators manage bookings, documentation and customs on your behalf. Real-time tracking and proactive updates keep you informed at every stage of the voyage.

Global Coverage

Weekly sailings connect major ports across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa and Oceania. Fixed schedules with reliable transit times make planning inventory around ocean freight simple and predictable.

Container Options

Choose full-container loads for exclusive use, shared containers that charge only for your volume, refrigerated units for temperature-sensitive goods, and open-top or flat-rack equipment for out-of-gauge cargo.

Customs and Documentation

Bills of lading, invoices, packing lists and export declarations are prepared and verified before sailing. Compliance checks at both ends keep your containers clearing ports without costly holds.

Ocean Freight FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL gives you exclusive use of a full container with faster handling at both ports, while LCL shares container space so you only pay for the volume you use. FCL suits large loads and LCL suits smaller shipments that still need the economy of sea freight.

How long does ocean freight take?

Transit time depends on the route, with major lanes typically taking several weeks port to port. An exact sailing schedule with departure and arrival dates is confirmed before you book, plus time for export and import clearance at each end.

What documents are needed for sea shipping?

You will need a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list and export declaration, all prepared for you from your booking details. Accurate cargo descriptions and codes keep clearance smooth and avoid inspection delays.

Do you handle port-to-door delivery?

Yes, collection from your premises, export clearance, the sea leg, import clearance and final-mile delivery are managed as one booking. You follow the whole journey on a single tracking number.

How is sea freight priced?

Pricing reflects container size and type, route, season and cargo weight, with peak-season surcharges on busy lanes. Choose an all-in door-to-door quote or a port-to-port rate, with every charge itemised before you commit.

Is my cargo insured during transit?

Carrier liability at sea is limited by international convention, so full marine insurance based on declared value is strongly recommended. It is added in one click at booking and claims are handled for you end to end.

Can I ship hazardous goods by sea?

Selected hazardous classes travel under strict IMDG rules with prior approval, correct declaration and certified packaging. Most everyday hazardous items are restricted, so confirm with support before booking.

How do I track my container?

Enter the container or bill of lading number on the Track page for milestones from gate-in and loading to departure, arrival, clearance and final delivery. Alerts are sent proactively if the schedule changes.
