Flexible ocean freight capacity solutions
Find the right shipping solution that fits your needs, with flexible options for both full containers and smaller shipments.
- Full container loads (FCL): For large loads, FCL provides a dedicated container for your cargo along with access to hundreds of lanes to optimize each shipment for route, priority, and cost.
- Less than container loads (LCL): For smaller shipments, LCL allows you to share container space with other cargo, reducing costs by only paying for the space you need.
- Freight consolidation: For smaller shipments, we consolidate your cargo with other freight so we can offer the benefits of FCL. This reduces transit time and saves on transportation, administration, and handling costs.
