LCL - Less than Container Load

This service is specially designed for those clients that need to ship their goods, but cannot fill an entire container. The main advantage of our LCL service system is to decrease transportation costs: you pay only for the space used and not for a full container load (FCL), and the transit time will be the same as if you shipped a FCL. Shipments under LCL are calculated at a minimum of 1 cubic meter (35 cubic feet). For shipments over 10 CBM discounts usually apply.

By consolidating various shipments at our receiving terminals, we maximize the usage of the container so that you enjoy the reduced rate that results from this operation. All our agents at the ports of destination are licensed by the local governments and professionally trained. You will feel their hospitality and efficacy at the first contact with them.
