Maritime transport
The most common mode of transport for shipping goods internationally, maritime transport concerns more than 2/3 of international trade.

Sea freight is so successful because it combines several advantages.
The first, and a big one, is its ability to carry heavy loads and large volumes by mixing product types.
It is the only means of transport that can carry liquid or gaseous products.

Ocean freight allows you totransport small or large quantities of goods over long distances.
This mode of transport is to be used when the delay is not a priority constraint. Example : Count 31 to 45 days to transfer your goods from France to Japan.
2 types of loading
Depending on your needs, we can offer two types of loading: FCL or LCL.
FCL or Full Container Load:
Your cargo volume is sufficient to fill a full container.
LCL or Less than Container Load:
Even if your volume is not sufficient, we can share container space with other shipments and reduce costs.
Good to know: For any goods whose dimensions would exceed the size of a standard container, the transport of "outsize" goods is possible, do not hesitate to contact us.
