Find the right Sea Freight Service for you
Import & Export Services: Our specialist team works with you for a reliable transport of your products to ensure that import conditions are met and applied, from being prepared prior to the shipment to clearance and inspection – your service is personalised to you and your needs, while adhering to industry standards and regulations for sea freight containers.
Less than Container Load (LCL): Cargo travelling which does not require the entire shipping container – enabling the shipment to be consolidated. Using this method of transport, you only pay for the volume (no flat fee) which also allows for flexibility on the quantity of items that you’re shipping.
Full Container Load (FCL): A shipping method where the products being transported travel in one shipment or in part of a shipment – using this method does not require the entire container to be filled.
Roll on/Roll off (RORO): Used for transporting vehicles (cars, boats and light aircrafts) either by driving them directly onto the ship or they are loaded onto a pallet and moved to the ships hold.
Lift on/ Lift off (LOLO) Breakbulk: Vessels which have on-board cranes which used to load and unload cargo off the ship.

Sea freight shipping services include:
- Less than Container Load (LCL): is used where the goods being transported won’t fill the entire container and share the remaining space with items belonging to different people/ businesses.
- Full Container Load (FCL): refers to the company and/ or person transporting the items within the entire container, only belonging to them. The containers have standardized dimensions. They can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another—container ships, rail transport flatcars, and semi-trailer trucks—without being opened.
- Roll on/Roll off (RORO): Vessels designed to carry wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers, and railroad cars, that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle, such as a self-propelled modular transporter. This is in contrast to lift-on/lift-off (LOLO) vessels, which use a crane to load and unload cargo.
- Breakbulk (LOLO): also referred to as “lift on/ lift off”, Break bulk cargo or general cargo are goods that must be loaded individually, and not in shipping containers nor in bulk as with oil or grain. Break bulk cargo is transported in bags, boxes, crates, drums, pallets or barrels. The cargo is brought to the quay next to the ship and then each individual item is lifted on board separately.
