Our company provides sea transportation of the following categories of cargo:
Animals cannot be transported in containers, nor can different types of cargo be combined in one container, such as general and dangerous goods.
FCL means Full Container Load and is used when a shipper bears the cost of the entire container and uses it exclusively for a single shipment, even if they do not have enough goods to fill it up.
LCL means Less Container Load when shippers share the containers with other. The cost of an LCL shipment is calculated based on the actual volume or the space that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container, which is usually at a minimum of 1 CBM
