Ocean freight
Groupage load (or LCL), describes the transportation of freight, when a separate cargo fills up only a part of a sea shipping container. This method allows effectively coordinating the shipment of various cargoes in a single container. The minimum freight volume is not limited, while the maximum volume of a separate cargo must be at least slightly less than a full 20' sea container.
Freight consolidation
Most efficient method for transporting groupage freight by sea transport is freight consolidation.
The aim of freight consolidation is the reduction of transportation costs and ensurance of supply frequency without increasing logistics costs.

Our experience has shown that the practice where the shipper dispatches a sea freight at its own expenses is not always most favourable for the recipient of the freight.
Often delivery becomes an uncontrolled process, i.e. it is not clear when and to which European port the freight will be shipped to.
And, most importantly, the consignee almost always incurs unplanned and significant additional costs.
For new shipment, we will advise you on how to order a delivery and to immediately find out the final transportation price and to peacefully wait for the freight being delivered at your door.
