What is Ocean freight?
Ocean freight shipping is the method of transporting containerised cargo loaded onto vessels by sea. Over 90% of all the world’s trade is carried by sea. If you want to ship your freight around the world, ocean freight is the most convenient option.
As a general rule, shipments weighing more than 100kg – or consisting of multiple cartons – will be sent by sea freight. The containers are designed and built for intermodal freight transport. That means the containers can be used across various transportation modes – from ship to rail to truck – without unloading and reloading the cargo.

The benefits of ocean freight shipping include:

- Cheaper than other freight modes (e.g. air freight) over long distances

What is LCL shipment?
Is your shipment too small for a whole container? LCL shipping allows you to share a consolidated container with other goods, ensuring your small shipment can be on the move when you need it.
Less-than-Container Load enables the use of palletized boxes and crates or small package boxes to ensure on-time shipment of your cargo. It helps you accommodate fluctuating demand and find shipping availability even during busy periods.
What’s more – you only pay for what you ship. LCL shipping offers flexibility, peace of mind and it saves you both time & money.
Why choose LCL shipping?
LCL shipping gives you flexibility and the ability to react to ever-changing demands, especially if you need to move small shipments often. With LCL you can ship your small boxes and pallets per your needs instead of waiting to fill a full container with your cargo.
For many businesses, LCL can help them penetrate new markets, reach new customer segments and try offering new product categories. With just-in-time delivery, LCL helps increase efficiency, cut costs and keep inventory levels lean.
