Services
FCL shipping
Full Container Load shipping provides dedicated container space for single consignees. Our FCL service offers competitive rates through 80+ shipping lines with real-time booking capabilities. Customers benefit from door-to-port and port-to-port options with guaranteed space allocation, particularly for China-US routes during peak seasons. The service includes standard 20' and 40' containers with optimized stuffing calculations via our Load Calculator tool.
LCL shipping
Less Container Load service offers cost-effective shipping for volumes between 1-20 cubic meters. We consolidate shipments from multiple senders to maximize efficiency while maintaining cargo integrity. Our global network of CFS warehouses ensures proper handling of non-dangerous goods with transit times comparable to FCL for partial container loads. Real-time tracking is available through our integrated logistics explorer platform.
Dangerous cargoes
Specialized transportation for IMO-classified dangerous goods across 9 hazard classes. Our certified forwarders ensure compliance with IMDG Code regulations through proper classification, packaging, and documentation. The service includes route optimization to avoid restricted zones and access to vessels equipped with safety systems for flammable, corrosive, or radioactive materials transportation.
Cargo insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage against risks including theft, natural disasters, and third-party damage. Policies range from basic liability protection to all-risk coverage with customizable terms. Claims processing is streamlined through our partnerships with leading marine insurers, providing financial security for high-value shipments up to $50,000,000 per incident.
Inspection services
End-to-end quality assurance from pre-production to final shipment. Our services include factory audits, during-production checks, and pre-shipment inspections with detailed reporting. The team identifies potential issues at all manufacturing stages, ensuring compliance with specifications while offering corrective action recommendations to maintain production timelines and quality standards.
