Ocean Freight

Ocean freight is the most efficient way to move large shipments internationally—using secure, standardized containers on reliable ocean carriers. It delivers the best value for high-volume cargo over long distances, with flexible options for everything from heavy, dense loads to temperature-controlled goods. With the right routing, carrier selection, and documentation, ocean freight keeps your supply chain predictable and cost-smart.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL ocean freight?

FCL (full container load) gives your cargo an entire container—best for larger volumes, faster handling, and fewer touches. LCL (less-than-container load) shares container space with other shippers and suits smaller shipments. We compare cost and timing to recommend the better option for your volume.

How long does ocean freight take?

Ocean transit usually takes weeks rather than days, depending on the trade lane, port schedules, transshipments, and customs clearance. It is the most economical mode for large or non-urgent shipments; for time-critical cargo, air freight is faster.

Do you handle port-to-door delivery and drayage?

Yes. We coordinate the full move—origin pickup, export and import customs, the ocean leg, drayage from the port, and final delivery—so your container is managed end to end with clear milestones.

What documents do I need for ocean freight?

Most ocean shipments require a Bill of Lading (or Sea Waybill), commercial invoice, and packing list. International moves typically also need export and import declarations, and may require a certificate of origin or dangerous-goods documentation for specialized cargo. We help prepare and review your paperwork before departure to prevent customs holds or delays at the port.
