FCL Ocean Shipping (Full Container Load)

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is the safest and most cost-effective option for moving containerized goods across the globe. With FCL, you get exclusive use of a container, ensuring greater security, faster transit, and complete control over your cargo.

Whether you need a 20ft, 40ft, Reefer, Flat Rack, or High Cube container, we can provide the equipment and support you need.

Our FCL division focuses on finding the best solution in terms of cost, routing, and transit time — all tailored to your shipping needs.

LCL Ocean Shipping (Less than Container Load)

LCL shipping is ideal when you don’t have enough cargo to fill a full container. This option allows you to share container space with others shipping to the same destination — lowering your costs while maintaining shipment visibility and control.

We offer reliable international ocean consolidations with competitive sea freight rates and transit times to and from Canada, the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

Breakbulk & Project Cargo Shipping

Breakbulk shipping is the best option for oversized or overweight cargo that doesn’t fit in standard containers. Your cargo is loaded individually onto the vessel and secured for transport.

Our team of sea freight specialists has the experience and technical expertise to manage every detail when handling complex or high-value shipments.

We are your trusted partner for reliable ocean transportation of heavy, oversized, and out-of-gauge cargo worldwide.

Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) shipping is an efficient method for transporting wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, buses, and construction equipment. Vehicles are driven onto the vessel and off at the destination port, reducing handling and cost.

RORO shipping is one of the most affordable sea freight solutions for automotive and machinery transport. Our partnerships with leading RORO carriers allow us to offer the most competitive rates and reliable scheduling.
