seafreight

Handling FCL's / LCL's shipments to worldwide destinations.

Sea freight is an eminent feature among the services offered by Onward Cargo System. Our network of agents and logistics partners worldwide enable our clients to benefit from a package tailored to their individual needs and time requirements.

We excel in facilitating our clients with the following Sea freight services: -

▪ Worldwide export consolidation services.
▪ Import de-consolidation services.
▪ Handling FCL's / LCL's shipments to worldwide destinations.

FCL (Full Container Load / Containerised cargo)

If a shipper / importer has enough cargo to make either a 20ft or 40ft container cost-effective, the product is sold at a container rate. The customer pays an agreed price for the container, it is then totally at his discretion as to how much cargo is placed inside the container - the more tonnage placed inside the container, the lower the unit price.

LCL (Loose Cargo)

This is the same type of product, as the consolidation service on airfreight where there is not enough cargo for the shippers needs to warrant paying for a 20ft container. So space is sold at the applicable weight / measure price to and from the major ports throughout the world - this is effectively a groupage service.

As we work with all shipping lines, a detailed schedule of services can be provided which highlights the frequency, transit time and real freight costs as they do vary considerably for different lines within the same trade route.
