The groupage service consists in grouping in a single container goods of different consignors, destined to different customers in the same geographic area.
Service aimed at those who buy goods from different Suppliers/ Shipper and want to optimize the cost of transport grouping it so that it is shipped in a single container.
For destinations for which we do not have our direct services, we cooperate with the main co-loaders on the market – acting as intermediaries – for a professional and accurate shipment management.
The entry into the global market of emerging industrial powers such as China, India or Brazil has led to a revolution: the most disparate types of goods are increasingly purchased in countries other than those that historically held the leadership in the global market. This has given rise to this new type of shipment ABROAD / ABROAD.
It is a real project aimed at organizing the transport of heavy and “out of gauge” materials. Cargo is available in different shapes and sizes, ranging from heavy cargo, break-bulk cargo, and “out of gauge”.
Roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) involves the transport of wheeled vehicles and loads arranged on platforms or in containers, loaded and unloaded by means of vehicles equipped with wheels independently and without the aid of external mechanical means.

FCL, or Full Container Load, refers to the shipment of an entire container reserved for a single customer/consignee. The container is loaded and sealed at origin and opened only at destination: the goods are not handled together with anyone else’s, transit times are faster and the risk of damage is lower. Viamar Transit organises FCL shipments for both export and import, from collection of the goods to final delivery. For smaller volumes, the more cost-effective alternative is groupage (LCL), where you pay only for the space you use.
In addition to ocean freight, we offer an integrated logistics service: road haulage from the supplier’s warehouse to the port of loading, storage and distribution, and handling of all documentation. We organise FCL shipments originating in Italy or any other European country, managed by our offices in Genoa and Turin. We also handle cross-trade: shipments of goods moving directly between two or more foreign countries.
Yes. We ship perishable goods in temperature-controlled reefer containers, and dangerous goods in compliance with ADR regulations for road transport and the IMO/IMDG Code for sea transport. Our staff are trained in accordance with the IMO manual for the handling of dangerous goods by sea, as required by Circular 23/2009 of the Italian Coast Guard General Command.
The cost of a container shipment depends on the route, container type, goods and time of year. On top of the ocean freight rate, there are the bunker surcharge (BAF), terminal handling charges (THC), customs clearance, haulage and VGM costs where we handle them, charges for exceeding free time (demurrage and detention), insurance and any dangerous goods surcharges; destination duties and taxes may also be included. Our quotes always state exactly what is included.
Thanks to long-standing relationships, built up over decades, with the world’s leading shipping lines, we constantly monitor market trends and negotiate competitive freight rates, giving our customers the best value for money and guaranteed space on board.
