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”.

LCL, or Less than Container Load, refers to a sea shipment of goods in which space is purchased in a co-loader’s containers.
The goods are delivered or collected and taken to a consolidation warehouse, where they are loaded into a container together with those of other shippers bound for the same area. The container travels to the port of discharge, where it is opened (deconsolidated) and each shipment is cleared through customs and delivered to its consignee.
In some cases, yes, but not all services accept them. Refrigerated goods require dedicated LCL reefer services, available only on certain routes; dangerous goods (ADR/IMO) require specific documentation and the co-loader’s acceptance. Contact us with details of your goods so we can check feasibility.
