FCL: your cargo, your container

When your cargo covers more than half a container, FCL is the only right choice. This option offers unparalleled security and control over your cargo, like a dance partner that moves completely in tune. With FCL, it's simple: your cargo, your container. No room for compromise. This means faster throughput, less handling and careful handling of your precious cargo.

Tailored transport
Whether it's Groupage Ocean Freight, Part Load Ocean Freight or a tempting Full Container Load, FCL offers the space and freedom to transport your cargo customized with sophisticated precision.

Advantages of FCL:

  • Exclusive container space.
  • Reduced risk of damage.
  • More efficient load handling.

Alternative transport solutions

Ocean freight is an attractive alternative for cargo that does not need to be shipped under great time constraints. But what if it does? What options are left then?

Link to: ocean freight reefer logistics

Reefer Logistics

Neele-Vat Ocean offers integrated supply chain solutions for fully frozen or refrigerated goods. Temperature-sensitive cargo must be shipped in accordance with strict specifications.

Efficient LCL shipping

When your cargo is more modest in size, LCL is the charming choice. Here, several shipments come together in one container, like a shared dance to the rhythm of the sea. Consolidating cargo is like merging several dance partners into a magical whole. It takes time and expertise, but results in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.

Our Recommendation

Our experience has taught us that:

  • For shipments of 1cbm ~ 15cbm, LCL is the right choice.
  • At 15 cbm ~ 20 cbm, please contact us for the best advice.
  • At more than 20 cbm, FCL dances best.

Benefits of LCL:

  • Cost-saving for smaller loads.
  • More environmentally friendly through shared transportation.

At Neele-Vat Ocean, we go the extra mile. With our own ocean freight LCL containers, also known as consolidation containers, we take the art of consolidation to the next level. Explore our capabilities on our consolidation page.
