Frequently asked questions

When should I use FCL, and when LCL?

Large, uniform volumes go FCL for the best cost per unit. Smaller volumes that do not fill a container are cheaper consolidated as LCL.

Does the ocean rate include both-end surcharges?

Yes. The quote is the final number, listing THC, PSS, BAF/CAF, DEM/DET and local charges at origin and destination.

Do you handle reefer and project cargo?

Yes. Temperature-controlled containers for produce and seafood, and out-of-gauge project cargo on full charter.

How do I track the container?

Real-time tracking on the portal at every milestone, with email and SMS alerts on departure, arrival and delivery.
