Full container shipping. One team keeping it moving.
We coordinate your FCL shipments from supplier readiness through to delivery. Get benchmarked ocean freight options, help with the paperwork and a clear point of contact when plans change.
Full container load shipping, with the details managed
FCL shipping means booking a container for your consignment rather than sharing its space with other customers’ freight. It can suit larger shipments or goods that benefit from moving together. You do not have to fill every part of the container for FCL to be worth comparing with other options.
Choose the container and sailing around your shipment
Volume is only part of the decision. Packed dimensions, weight, loading arrangements, cargo type and the receiving site all need consideration. We review these details alongside supplier readiness, the route and your delivery requirements to help you compare suitable ocean freight options.
If a dedicated container is not the right fit, we can look at LCL shipping for smaller consignments. We explain the trade-offs and the quoted costs before you decide.
Supplier follow-ups taken off your desk
We liaise with your supplier, arrange agreed bookings and coordinate the shipment paperwork and handling parties. Collection, customs support and final delivery are considered as part of the plan, with the scope and responsibilities agreed in advance.
For regular imports or exports, we can support the recurring work around each shipment: readiness checks, supplier correspondence, booking details and updates. You have one team to contact when something changes.
Understand the complete container shipping cost
A container freight rate is one part of the picture. Collection, origin and destination handling, documentation and delivery may be separate items. Delays in collecting or returning equipment can also create additional costs under the applicable terms. We help you understand the quotation and the arrangements you need to plan for.
What we need to get started
Share the origin and destination, goods description, packed volume and weight, ready date and any preferred container type. Tell us how the container will be loaded and unloaded, including site access or booking restrictions. If you are unsure of the equipment required, start with the cargo details.
FCL shipping questions
Does FCL always cost less than LCL?
No. Compare both for the actual route and consignment, including handling and delivery charges. The answer changes with the shipment.
Can you coordinate with an overseas supplier?
Yes. We can take on supplier liaison and the agreed shipment arrangements, keeping you informed as the booking progresses.
