FCL and LCL ocean freight on the world's major trade lanes, built around your budget and timeline.
Ocean freight still moves the majority of the world's trade for good reason: it is the most cost-effective way to ship volume. We book Full Container Load (FCL) and Less-than-Container Load (LCL) space through Apapa and Tin-Can Island ports, on the carriers and schedules that fit your budget.
Whether you're importing raw materials for manufacturing or exporting finished goods, our team tracks your booking from vessel loading to port discharge, and handles customs clearance directly so your container doesn't sit demurring at the terminal.
20ft and 40ft containers for full loads, or shared container space for smaller volumes.
Licensed clearance at Apapa and Tin-Can Island, avoiding third-party broker delays.
We prepare and submit Form M, assess duty and manage SONCAP/NAFDAC certification.
Containers are de-stuffed and trucked directly to your warehouse after clearance.
We help you arrange marine insurance appropriate to your cargo value and risk.
Proactive documentation keeps your container moving and avoids storage penalties.

FCL means your cargo has an entire container to itself — faster and more secure for larger volumes. LCL means your cargo shares a container with other shippers, which is more economical for smaller loads.
FCL is priced per container based on the route and carrier; LCL is priced per cubic metre or per tonne, whichever gives the higher freight weight.
