Mastering South African Customs: Your Guide to Smooth Clearance
Navigating the complex landscape of South African customs is crucial for businesses…..
The different types of Sea Freight
We offer tailored transportation solutions for full-container-loads (FCL), less-than-container-loads (LCL) as well as cargo that doesn't fit the standard container. Our comprehensive services include customs clearance, precise documentation, and meticulous handling of your goods, among others.
Full-Container-Load (FCL)
FCL shipping, or Full Container Load, entails the utilization and payment for an entire shipping container. This method proves cost-effective for sizable shipments, reduces handling procedures, boosts security, and frequently leads to quicker delivery when compared to LCL.
FCL is particularly advantageous when the client’s goods occupy a substantial portion of the container, optimizing
efficiency and ensuring a seamless shipping process.
"Our commitment to doing an excellent job and making sure our clients are informed and involved throughout the logistics process helps distinguish us from the rest of the field."
Less-than-Container -Load (LCL)
LCL, or Less than Container Load, is a cost-effective ocean freight shipment mode suitable for smaller shipments that do not occupy an entire container.
Goods from multiple clients are consolidated into one container and you only pay for the volume you need.
Our weekly consolidations worldwide ensure solutions for shipments to almost every country.
Break Bulk
Break Bulk shipping involves the transportation of goods that are not containerized, typically oversized or heavy cargo. Unlike containerized shipping, Break Bulk shipments are loaded individually onto a vessel rather than being consolidated into containers.
At ShipChain, we offer expert Break Bulk shipping services, ensuring safe and efficient transport of your specialized cargo. Trust us to handle your oversized or heavy goods with precision, delivering them securely to their destination while optimizing your logistics operations.
