O Ocean freight
Every shipment. Every horizon.
Ocean freight moves the bulk of the world's trade at the lowest cost per kilogram. We match the equipment, the sailing and the paperwork to your cargo, whether it fills one carton or forty containers.
01 Services
FCL, LCL or out of gauge.
The right choice depends on volume, timing and how your cargo needs to be handled. Here's how the three compare.
Share the box, pay for your space
Cargo is consolidated with other shippers' freight at a container freight station (CFS) and separated again at destination.
- Rated per freight tonne (W/M)
- Suited to smaller, regular shipments
- Allow extra time for consolidation
When it won't fit in a box
Machinery, vehicles, structures and heavy lifts move on flat racks, open tops or as breakbulk.
- Lift, lashing and securing plans
- Survey and permit coordination
- Port and inland logistics planned together

Destination
Discharge, import clearance, terminal release and delivery, with demurrage and detention free time monitored to avoid avoidable charges.
