OCEAN FREIGHT | COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS

We offer a wide array of import and export ocean freight services, including Less than Container Load (LCL), Full Container Load (FCL), Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO), project cargo, and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. Our close relationships with leading shipping lines ensure we provide the best rates and services for all types of commodities.

Less than Container Load (LCL)

LCL sea freight is ideal for businesses with smaller shipments that only require a partial container. This cost-effective method consolidates goods from multiple shippers into a single container, providing flexibility and frequent shipment options without waiting to fill an entire container. It involves more handling than FCL, but it remains a popular choice for smaller international consignments.

Full Container Load (FCL)

FCL sea freight offers exclusive use of an entire container for a single shipper’s cargo, providing enhanced security, reduced handling, and generally faster transit times. It is cost-effective for larger shipments or when exclusive container use is necessary for specific security or logistical reasons.

Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO)

Our RO/RO services are designed for the transportation of vehicles and heavy equipment that can be driven on and off the vessel. This method simplifies the loading and unloading process, making it ideal for wheeled cargo like cars, trucks, and construction machinery.

Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo

Our OOG services use specialised equipment, such as flat racks or open-top containers, for cargo that exceeds the dimensions of standard containers. This service is essential for oversized items like industrial machinery, large vehicles, and prefabricated structures, which require meticulous planning and handling.

Project Cargo

Project cargo services transport large, complex, and high-value equipment associated with specific projects, such as infrastructure development or energy projects. These shipments involve intricate planning, multi-modal transport, and specialised equipment, ensuring safe and efficient delivery.
