FCL Services (Full Container Load)

For large volume exporters, Full Container Load (FCL) shipping provides the highest level of security, speed, and cost efficiency. When utilizing an FCL service, the entire container is dedicated solely to your goods, eliminating intermediate handling risks, safeguarding cargo integrity, and avoiding groupage consolidation requirements.
We coordinate empty container pickup from major ICDs, supervise direct cargo loading at your manufacturing site, seal the container with tamper-evident security seals, and transport it via direct rail or road corridors to seaport terminals for vessel boarding.

- Pre-cooling: Cargo must be pre-cooled to the required carrying temperature before stuffing into the reefer container.
- Air Circulation: Containers must be packed below the load limit line to ensure free air flow through the T-floor floorboards.
- Humidity & Ventilation: Controlled fresh-air ventilation and humidity extraction settings prevent condensation mold during the voyage.
- Continuous Power: Reefers are connected to terminal power on land and ship power at sea, using mobile generator sets (Gen-Sets) during road/rail transit.
