Ocean Freight FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cargo can be shipped by ocean freight?

Ocean freight can accommodate a wide range of commercial goods, containerized cargo, machinery, equipment, packaged products, and other suitable freight. Acceptance depends on the cargo type, dimensions, weight, destination, and applicable shipping regulations.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?

FCL refers to a full container reserved for one shipment, while LCL allows smaller shipments to share container space with other cargo. The most suitable option depends on shipment volume, destination, cost, and delivery requirements.

Yes. Shipment status can be monitored throughout the transportation process, including key stages such as departure, transit, port arrival, customs processing, release, and onward movement toward the final destination.

How are ocean freight rates calculated?

Rates are influenced by container size, shipment volume or weight, origin and destination ports, route availability, fuel costs, handling requirements, customs services, and any additional transportation needed before or after sea transit.
