Solutions
Groupage services (LCL = partial shipments)
Optimise costs and speed up deliveries.
Our groupage (LCL) service offers an efficient logistics solution for partial shipments. Goods from different customers are collected and grouped together to be loaded into a single container. This container is then transferred from the departure warehouse to the arrival warehouse. Once the container is released and Customs cleared, we begin deliveries to the respective recipients. Thanks to our groupage service, we optimise shipping costs since customers can share transport costs with other loads. This approach cuts down on shipping costs and offers a convenient option for goods that do not require a full container. Thanks to our extensive logistics network and our expertise in handling partial shipments, we guarantee a reliable, timely, and cost-effective service.
Full Container Load (FCL) Services
Dedicated transport and full control of goods.
Our full container load (FCL) services offer a dedicated and efficient solution for transporting goods in containers fully or partially loaded by a single exporter and intended for a single importer. With our FCL service, we ensure that the entire container is dedicated exclusively to the customer’s goods, resulting in enhanced flexibility when loading goods and full control over the shipment. We take care of all steps of the process, from booking a container to final delivery, which guarantees reliable and smooth handling. This dedicated transport approach offers several advantages. Customers benefit from greater safety and protection of their goods during transport; the risk of damage or mixing your goods with other cargoes is avoided. Moreover, thanks to the full container load, handling times are reduced and logistics efficiency is optimised. Our logistics experts work closely with customers to provide customised solutions tailored to their specific needs. We can handle both standard FCL shipments and special ones, such as refrigerated containers or containers for out-of-gauge goods.
