Container
Services
We
offer a full range of sea freight container services
including LCL and FCL shipments to all ports around
the world. Consignments
can be shipped door to door or port to port as required.
LCL: Less
Than Container Loads are grouped at receiving depots
and loaded into containers by appointed groupage operators.
FCL: The
majority of Full Container Loads involve the delivery
of the container direct to your facilities. You then
have 3 hours to load the container which is then sealed
in your presence by the driver and both the container
and seal number noted on the paperwork. It is then
the responsibility of the receiving agent at the destination
to confirm that the seal is intact. Alternatively we
can handle packing and container loading on your behalf
at our Heathrow based warehouse facility.
