Ocean Freight Services
Cost-effective shipping for commercial cargo from China
Sea freight is commonly used for larger, heavier, or cost-sensitive shipments that do not require urgent air delivery. It is suitable for wholesale orders, palletized goods, factory shipments, ecommerce replenishment stock, and regular B2B imports from China.
LCL Sea Freight
Ship less than container load cargo when your goods are not enough for a full container. LCL sea freight is useful for medium-volume shipments, mixed cargo, cartons, and pallets.
FCL Sea Freight
Arrange full container load shipping for larger cargo volumes, including 20ft containers, 40ft containers, and 40HQ containers from China.
Container Loading Coordination
Support cargo preparation, warehouse consolidation, loading planning, and container dispatch when goods come from one or multiple suppliers in China.
Delivery Planning
Coordinate destination delivery planning after ocean freight arrival, including truck delivery, warehouse delivery, business address delivery, or door-to-door service when required.
Sea Freight Support
More than port-to-port ocean shipping
A practical sea freight service often includes more than booking space on a vessel. Many shipments also need supplier pickup, warehouse handling, export paperwork, customs coordination, destination delivery, and freight method comparison before booking.

Coordinate cargo pickup from your supplier, factory, or China warehouse before the shipment moves to the port or consolidation warehouse.
Warehouse Consolidation
Receive goods from multiple suppliers, organize cargo, combine shipments, and prepare goods for LCL sea freight or FCL container loading.
