Ocean Freight

At Logix Across, we understand that shipping goods across the globe via ocean freight can be a daunting process. That’s why we’re here to make it simple, efficient, and cost-effective for you. Whether you’re moving large quantities of inventory, bulky items, or just need a reliable solution for international shipping, our ocean freight services are designed to meet all your needs.

What is Ocean Freight?

Ocean freight involves the transportation of goods by sea, typically using large container ships to move cargo across oceans and international waters. It is the most common and cost-effective method for shipping large volumes of goods over long distances. Ocean freight is particularly well-suited for businesses that need to move large quantities of products at a lower cost, though it is slower than air freight.

How Does Ocean Freight Work?

1. Booking and Documentation
   Your journey with Logix Across starts by booking your ocean freight shipment. We take the time to understand your needs—whether you’re shipping full containers or less-than-container loads (LCL). Once booked, we prepare the necessary documentation, including the Bill of Lading (BOL), which acts as a contract for the shipping process.
2. Cargo Pickup and Transport to the Port
   Once the booking is confirmed, we arrange for your goods to be picked up from your location. Our team handles the transportation to the nearest port, ensuring your goods are securely packed and ready for shipping. Whether you’re shipping from a warehouse or factory, we ensure a smooth transfer to the port of departure.
3. Customs Clearance
   Before your shipment can depart, it must clear customs. Our experienced logistics team handles all the necessary paperwork and regulatory requirements to ensure your goods meet international trade rules. We take care of the duties, taxes, and other formalities so you can focus on your business.
4. Loading the Cargo
   At the port, your goods are loaded onto the container and prepared for shipping. Logix Across offers different container options, including Full Container Loads (FCL) and Less-than-Container Loads (LCL), depending on your shipment size. Our expert team ensures your cargo is securely packed and ready to be transported across the seas.
5. Ocean Transit
   Once loaded, the cargo is transported via ocean freight. The shipping time will vary depending on the origin and destination, as well as weather and sea conditions. However, rest assured that our trusted shipping partners maintain schedules to ensure your shipment is in transit and on its way.
6. Arrival and Delivery at Destination
   Upon arrival at the destination port, your cargo is unloaded and processed through customs. Logix Across ensures that all necessary import regulations are met, handling the clearance process and the final delivery of goods. Whether it’s local delivery or further transportation to an inland destination, we handle the last mile with the same efficiency as the first.

Types of Ocean Freight Services We Offer

• Full Container Load (FCL): Ideal for large shipments, FCL is a service where you use an entire container for your cargo. This option is more secure, reduces handling, and ensures your goods arrive directly at their destination without delays from other shipments.
• Less Than Container Load (LCL): For smaller shipments that don’t require an entire container, LCL allows you to share container space with other shippers. This is a great cost-effective solution for businesses with smaller or less frequent shipments.
• Refrigerated Cargo (Reefer): When your goods are temperature-sensitive, we offer refrigerated containers (reefers) to maintain the right conditions for items like perishable foods, pharmaceuticals, and other goods that need climate control.
• Oversized Cargo: If your shipment includes large or heavy items that don’t fit into standard containers, we provide oversized cargo shipping options. Our team ensures that your goods are properly secured and transported safely.
• Hazardous Cargo: Shipping hazardous materials requires special care and expertise. Logix Across ensures that hazardous shipments comply with international safety standards and are transported according to regulations to prevent risk or damage.
