Container vessel loading at a port terminal
Ocean freight

Ocean freight built on reliable sailings

Contracted carrier space, weekly consolidations and breakbulk engineering for cargo that travels best by sea — with the same tracking discipline we apply to air.

Overview

How this service works

We book FCL and LCL space with carriers we audit for schedule reliability, not just rate. Weekly consolidations from our gateway warehouses keep smaller shipments moving without waiting for a full container.

Breakbulk and out-of-gauge cargo is planned with route surveys, lashing plans and port handling arranged ahead of arrival, so demurrage risk is designed out of the shipment.

Ocean bookings can be combined with air uplift for split consignments where part of the order is urgent and the balance can travel by sea.
