Our Sea Freight Services Offers

FCL (Full Container Load)

We provide Full Container Load (FCL) for your shipments (sea freight), as well as out-of-gauge and breakbulk services for your non-containerized cargo. Based on carrier routing options, FCL is our best transit-time-to-cost combination product for full container loads.

FCL offers complete schedule flexibility, a high frequency of sailings per port pair, and the availability of equipment. We position containers at your facility to fit your schedule and offer flexible schedules to and from locations worldwide to meet even the most demanding shipping requirements.

LCL (Less-than-Container Load)

With our less than container load (LCL) services, we offer guaranteed capacity, regular and frequent departures, and a vast choice of destinations, whether on intercontinental or short sea routes.

Whether it is door-to-door or port-to-port, we are experts in handling even special equipment needs. This includes flat rack, open-top containers, dry, temperature-controlled and refrigerated. We operate a core carrier program to make sure that cargo is handled in LCL containers by approved and reliable carriers.

Container dimensions & specifications

20 ft container – defined by its length though there is a lack of standardization in regard to height, ranging between 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m) and 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m), with the most common height being 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m). Also, it is common to designate 45-foot (13.7 m) containers as 2 TEU, rather than 2.25 TEU.

40-foot container – a standard container with the same width but a doubled length of forty feet which equals one forty-foot equivalent unit (often FEU or feu) in cargo transportation. In order to allow stacking of these types, a forty-foot inter-modal container has an exact length of 40 feet (12.192 m), while the standard twenty-foot inter-modal container is slightly shorter having an exact length of 19 feet 10.5 inches (6.058 m).

Twenty-foot, “heavy tested” containers are available for heavy goods such as heavy machinery. These containers allow a maximum weight of 67,200 pounds (30,500 kg), an empty weight of 5,290 pounds (2,400 kg), and a net load of 61,910 pounds (28,080 kg).
