1. What Is FCL Shipping?
FCL means Full Container Load. This is a shipping method of transporting your goods using sea freight. In this process of shipping, you can hire the entire container. That does not mean you have to fill up the entire container.
2. Why Sea Shipping is better?
One of the most significant advantages of sea transport is that your items will move safely and securely. A merchant vessel can carry hazardous materials or dangerous cargo without issue. Containers are locked securely during transit to keep your valuables safe en route.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FCL (Full Container Load) shipping?
FCL is an ocean freight shipping method where an entire cargo container is booked and used exclusively by one shipper. Unlike LCL (Less than Container Load), you do not share the container space with other cargo owners.
What are the primary benefits of choosing FCL shipping?
FCL shipping provides faster transit times, reduces the risk of cargo damage due to minimal handling, offers better security since the container is sealed from origin to destination, and is highly cost-effective for large shipments.
What container sizes are available for FCL shipments?
The standard sizes available are 20-foot (20GP) and 40-foot (40HQ) containers. We also handle specialized equipment including reefers (freezers) and open top or out-of-gauge (OOG) containers.
Do you handle customs clearance at Chinese departure ports?
Yes, we provide full export customs declaration services at all major Chinese ports. Our team manages the documentation, inspection coordination, and customs filing to ensure your cargo complies with all export regulations.
How long does it take for sea freight transit from China?
Transit times vary based on the destination. For example, shipping from China to African ports like Cotonou generally takes around 30 days. We provide estimated arrival schedules (ETA) as soon as the vessel departs.
What types of specialty goods can you handle besides standard dry cargo?
We handle a variety of specialized cargo including oversized items, temperature-controlled shipments (using reefers), hazardous goods (DG), as well as specific items like batteries, electronics, tea, and food products.
