Sea Freight & Container Shipping to Puerto Rico

Are you looking to ship cargo containers from Houston to Puerto Rico? Our Ocean Transportation Service is facilitated from the Port of Houston (TX) and the Port of Jacksonville (FL), two of the main and busiest freight ports in the USA. Depending on your specific needs, we offer door-to-door, door-to-port and port-to-port transportation services from Houston to Puerto Rico.

With our door-to-door service, you will be able to have your cargo delivered to different inland cities such as Caguas, Mayagüez, Arecibo, and many others. Depending on the destination city, we will transport your cargo via the most convenient ports in Puerto Rico such as the Port of San Juan or the Port of Ponce.

The transit time to ship a container from Houston to Puerto Rico is estimated to be between 20 to 25 days from port to port. The number of days will vary depending on the required service route and sailing schedule.

● Full Container Load – FCL Shipping

We offer FCL Ocean Service to Puerto Rico in 20ft containers and 40ft containers. If the cargo being shipped requires different equipment, such as open-top containers, flat racks, reefers or others, our specialized equipment division will offer you the best alternatives available.

Our FCL Shipping Service offers greater control over the entire container, allowing for easier loading, unloading, and tracking of your goods. It is ideal for businesses with large volumes of goods or shipments that require special handling or security measures. Additionally, FCL shipping often provides faster transit times compared to LCL, making it suitable for time-sensitive deliveries.

● Less than a Container Load – LCL Shipping

If a shipment cannot fill an entire container, our Ocean Consolidation Service from Houston to Puerto Rico is always available. When using LCL shipping, the rate applicable is based on the volume of the cargo. If the weight of the cargo exceeds the maximum weight allowed per cubic meter, then the rate applicable is based on the weight.

Our LCL Shipping Service is ideal when you have smaller shipments that don’t fill an entire container. It’s cost-effective when shipping smaller quantities, allows you to share container space and split costs with other shippers, and is overall a flexible option for shipments of varying sizes.

● RORO Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)

Do you need to move heavy machinery, construction equipment, large vehicles, yachts or any other oversized cargo that does not fit into a standard shipping container? Our RORO Shipping Service from Houston to Puerto Rico covers specialized equipment or vehicles such as cranes, skidders, dump trucks, generators, turbine blades or propellers.

Our shipping experts have the required know-how to transport all these items and many more through RORO easily.
