Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (full container load) gives you an entire container for your cargo — best when you have enough volume to fill one. LCL (less than container load) shares container space with other shippers, so you only pay for the space you use. Our desk will advise which is more cost-effective for your volume.
How long does ocean freight take?
Transit time depends on the lane. Asia–Europe runs roughly 30–40 days port to port; transatlantic is 12–18 days. We’ll give you a precise schedule with your quote, including cut-off and sailing dates.
Is customs clearance included?
Yes. We have in-house customs brokers at every gateway, so clearance is handled without third-party handoffs — one of the most common causes of delay and surprise fees.
Is my cargo insured?
Cargo liability cover is included in every rate. For high-value shipments we also offer all-risk marine insurance at preferential rates — just ask your account manager.
