Types of Ocean Freight Services We Provide
At Atlantic International Express, we offer two main types of ocean freight services:
-
Full Container Load (FCL)
Full Container Load (FCL) shipping involves the transportation of goods in a dedicated container from the loading point to the unloading point. This method is highly economical when the volume of goods from one origin to one destination is sufficient to utilize the container's full capacity.
FCL offers shippers several advantages, including full control over the container, transparency in shipping processes, and a secure supply chain. The dedicated use of the container ensures continuous sealing, enhancing the safety of the cargo.
Additionally, FCL services provide door-to-door transport across all continents, paperless booking and shipping instructions, and continuous shipment tracking. This method optimizes transport costs and can be tailored to meet specific shipping needs, making it a viable option for businesses with large shipments.
-
Less than Container Load (LCL)
Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping is designed for shipments that do not require the full capacity of a container. In LCL shipping, multiple shipments from different customers are consolidated into a single container, allowing the transportation costs to be shared. This makes LCL an economical alternative, particularly for less time-sensitive shipments that would otherwise be transported by air.
LCL shipping also offers environmental benefits by reducing the carbon footprint associated with airfreight. With Atlantic's LCL service, customers benefit from worldwide service at competitive prices, reliable transit times with fixed departures, and centralized control tower operations.
