How it works
Frequently asked questions
FCL or LCL — which should I choose?
If your cargo fills most of a container, FCL is usually cheaper per unit and safer because the container is sealed for you. For smaller volumes LCL shares the container and you pay by volume. We price both when it is close.
What is weight-or-measure?
For LCL, carriers charge on whichever is greater: the volume in cubic metres or the weight in tonnes. One cubic metre is treated as equal to one tonne.
Can you arrange reefer containers?
Yes, for chilled and frozen cargo, including plug-in and monitoring at the port or in storage.
