Sea freight, also known as ocean freight, is one of the longest established forms of transporting goods internationally. It’s also one of the most economical. While air freight is favoured for time-sensitive shipments, sea freight is still the first choice for many businesses and individuals looking for a cost-effective solution.
Small businesses and individual customers may not typically consider sea freight as a viable option, as it tends to be associated with larger companies exporting high volumes of commercial cargo. But sea freight services can also be a great option for transporting personal effects.
With our LCL (part container load) service, you don’t need to have enough cargo to fill a whole container in order to get a beneficial shipping rate. But if you do, we also offer FCL (full container load) shipments.
What Are The Costs?
When you’re shipping via sea, there are lots of sea freight costs you can run into. Let’s take a look at the key steps in the import process.
First of all, you need to pay for the sea freight itself; if you’re shipping FCL, you will be subject to sea freight rate fluctuations and if you’re shipping LCL, rate fluctuations aren’t too much of an issue.
However, there are more steps in the process than the actual transport itself – such as the costs to clear Customs.
Full Container Loads (FCL)
Through our network of first class carriers we are in a position to negotiate competitive freight charges and secure adequate space for full container loads from all locations we serve.

Doorstep delivery is also part of our service.
Less than Container Loads (LCL)
This option is available to clients with relatively smaller shipments that do not occupy a full container.
