Ocean Container Freight from China — FCL and LCL

Ocean remains the cheapest way to move volume. We book slots with liner carriers, collect the box at the destination port — Poti, Aktau, Bandar Abbas or St Petersburg — and run the inland leg to your door.

Frequently asked

Not covered here? Ask us directly — we reply within one working hour.

Does ocean make sense for a landlocked country?

Yes, when volume is large and timing is not critical. Even with the inland leg from Aktau or Poti, the total lands below rail for multi-container consignments.

What is demurrage and how do I avoid it?

It is a charge for holding the container beyond the free period. We build extended free time into the booking and prepare documents in advance so the box leaves the terminal within a day of discharge.
