Frequently asked questions about ocean freight
What is the difference between “FCL” and “LCL” in ocean freight?
FCL (Full Container Load) means that you have exclusive use of an entire container for your own goods. This is efficient for larger volumes and involves fewer transshipments, which reduces the risk of damage and often shortens transit time. LCL (Less than Container Load) means that your shipment is consolidated with goods from other shippers into a single container. You pay only for the space you use. This is a cost-effective solution for smaller volumes that do not fill an entire container. Want to learn more? Read the full article here.
Which container is best suited for my goods?
Choosing the right container depends on the type of goods, volume, weight and any specific transportation requirements. For standard, dry cargo, a 20ft or 40ft dry container is typically used. For temperature-sensitive products, a reefer container is suitable, while non-standard sizes or heavy loads often call for an open top, flat rack or high cube container. A careful analysis of your shipment will ensure that the container is used to its full potential and that your goods are transported safely, efficiently and in compliance with international regulations.

What are “Incoterms ,” and why are they important in ocean freight?
Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are standard trade terms that define who is responsible for costs, risks, and obligations in the international transport of goods. In ocean freight, Incoterms provide clarity on matters such as loading, unloading, insurance, and transportation between the seller and the buyer. By choosing the correct Incoterm, you can prevent misunderstandings about responsibilities and costs during transport and streamline collaboration with your logistics partner and customer.

What are deep sea ports and why are they important for ocean freight?
Deep-sea ports are seaports with sufficient water depth to accommodate large seagoing vessels, such as container ships and bulk carriers. Thanks to their strategic location, extensive terminal facilities, and direct connections to hinterland transportation (road, rail, and barge transport), they form a crucial link in international supply chains. For maritime freight, deep-sea ports mean efficient transshipment, high capacity, and global connectivity. They make it possible to handle large volumes of goods quickly and cost-effectively and to distribute them further to destinations within Europe and beyond. Want to learn more? Read the full article here.
What factors influence ocean freight container rates?
Rates for containerized ocean freight are determined by multiple factors and are not static. Key factors include the chosen route and distance between the port of origin and the port of destination, the type of container or service (e.g., FCL or LCL), and the volume or weight of the shipment. In addition, market and fuel costs, seasonal influences, and additional surcharges—such as port handling, congestion, and fuel surcharges—play a role in determining the final costs.

What are the advantages of short sea shipping?
Short-sea shipping offers several advantages over road transport alone: it is cheaper per metric ton-kilometer, more sustainable due to lower CO₂ emissions, offers greater capacity, and is less dependent on drivers; it features regular scheduled services with stable transit times, easily connects to other modes of transport (road, rail, barge transport), and generally has a lower risk of damage or accidents.

What role does Rotterdam play in international ocean freight?
Rotterdam plays a key role in international maritime freight because it is Europe’s largest seaport and serves as a major gateway between Europe and the rest of the world. Ships depart from and arrive in Rotterdam from more than 1,000 ports worldwide, and the port offers modern terminals and strong multimodal connections (road, rail, barge transport) to the hinterland. This makes the port efficient, well-connected, and indispensable for importers, exporters, and logistics chains that want to ship goods safely and quickly around the world. Want to learn more?

How does shipping dangerous goods by ocean freight work?
When shipping dangerous goods by ocean freight, Neele-Vat ensures that your shipment is handled safely, in compliance with regulations, and in accordance with international standards. This begins with proper classification, packaging, and labeling in accordance with the IMDG Code and other regulations, followed by the preparation of required documents such as the Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) and safety data sheets. The container is then booked (FCL or LCL), transported to the port via ADR-certified pre-carriage, safely loaded, and shipped in accordance with IMDG guidelines, after which unloading and on-carriage take place in compliance with the regulations. This minimizes risks, fines, and delays, ensuring that the supply chain remains reliable and compliant. Want to learn more? Read the full article here.
What documents are required when exporting by ocean freight?
When exporting by ocean freight, a Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice and Packing List, among others, are required. In addition, customs documents such as the EX-A export document are required and - depending on the cargo - additional certificates, for example for dangerous or agricultural goods. Correct documentation prevents delays and extra costs at customs. Want to know more? Read the full article here.
How does the consolidation of ocean freight shipments work?

This reduces costs and empty space, while goods are efficiently shipped via scheduled services and then distributed to individual recipients. Want to learn more? Read the full article here.

How does a Bill of Lading work?
A Bill of Lading is an official ocean freight document that has three functions: it confirms that the carrier has received the goods, it serves as a contract of carriage and it is proof of ownership of the cargo. The B/L contains important data such as sender, consignee, ship details and cargo description; without a correct B/L, the consignee may not pick up the goods at the port. Want to know more? Read the full article here.
What does transshipment mean in ocean freight?
Transshipment in ocean freight means that a container is transferred from one ship to another at an intermediate port during the voyage. This is done when there is no direct ship to the final destination or to make more efficient use of services; the container remains sealed in this process and the journey is effectively continued through hubs.
