Full Container Load- FCL

FCL or Full Container Load is shipping whole container load (20', 40' 40' HC, or 45' length) from an origin to its final location. During a shipment there is the person who is transporting the goods or "shipper" and there is a person who is receiving the good or the "consignee". The process involves pre carriage of sea container from the depot container yard, loading at shipper location, returning back the container to the pier and further international shipping to nominated destination.

Less Than Container Load- LCL

LCL is the most convenient and cost effective way of international transportation for small and medium sized ocean shipments. For customers with less than a container load, LCL ocean transportation provides them all the benefits of full international shipping at fraction of the shipping cost and at the same time the same shipping frequency and service.

When exporting LCL internationally we manage the entire process from warehouse consolidation, palatalizing, brace and secure the cargo, loading, inland filing LCL documentation. We can provide partial and full LTL cargo insurance for our customers.
