FCL – Full Container Load Shipping

For larger shipments, regular import programmes or cargo requiring dedicated container space, Intercargo provides worldwide Full Container Load shipping.
Through our established global network and relationships with major ocean carriers, we can arrange FCL shipments across key international trade lanes and ports. FCL shipping can provide greater control over loading and container utilisation while reducing the handling associated with consolidated shipments.
Intercargo can support a range of container requirements, including standard 20ft and 40ft equipment alongside specialist container solutions where required. Through Conexa, customers can manage and monitor container movements, shipment milestones and associated supply chain information from one connected platform.

FCL sea freight can be ideal for:

High-volume shipments
Regular import and export programmes
Manufacturing components
Retail and consumer goods
Automotive cargo
Industrial equipment
High-tech products
Project cargo

Shipment milestones and delivery updates can be monitored through our integrated tracking technology, giving you visibility throughout the journey.

LCL – Less Than Container Load Shipping

Don't have enough cargo to fill a container?
Intercargo's Less than Container Load service allows you to ship smaller quantities by sea without paying for an entire container. Your goods are consolidated with compatible shipments travelling to the same destination, allowing you to pay for the space your cargo requires while benefiting from international ocean freight.
Intercargo operates regular LCL consolidation services across global trade lanes, providing businesses with a flexible alternative to FCL shipping.
As a registered NVOCC, Intercargo provides LCL consolidation services under neutral bills of lading issued through ICL Container Lines.

LCL sea freight is particularly suitable for:

Smaller commercial shipments
Palletised goods
Regular lower-volume imports
Multiple supplier shipments
Businesses transitioning from air to sea freight
Shipments where a full container is unnecessary

Our container optimisation capabilities help identify how your cargo can be consolidated efficiently while balancing cost, capacity and transit requirements.

Weekly LCL Consolidation Services

Regular departures can make international sea freight easier to plan.
Intercargo provides weekly and scheduled LCL consolidation services on established international routes, helping businesses build predictable freight movements into their supply chains.
Our team coordinates cargo through the consolidation process, from receipt at the Container Freight Station through loading, international transport, deconsolidation and onward delivery where required.
Customers can use Conexa to maintain visibility over purchase orders, shipments and important milestones throughout the journey.

Buyer's Consolidation & Multi-Supplier Shipping

Buying from several suppliers in the same country or region?
Instead of shipping every supplier's goods separately, Intercargo can coordinate shipments through Container Freight Stations at strategic origin locations and consolidate them into optimised container loads.
Our Buyer's consolidation solutions can help businesses:

Combine orders from multiple suppliers
Improve container utilisation
Reduce unnecessary freight movements
Coordinate supplier deliveries
Optimise container loading
Reduce overall transportation costs
Improve purchase order visibility
Simplify destination handling

Conexa supports the process with load planning, shipment information, approvals and purchase-order visibility. This gives procurement and supply chain teams greater control before goods leave origin.

International container shipping involves much more than moving cargo from one port to another. Intercargo can coordinate the complete journey.

Depending on your requirements, our door-to-door sea freight services can include:
Collection → Origin Handling → Consolidation → Ocean Freight → Customs Clearance → Deconsolidation → Final Delivery

By bringing these stages together, businesses can work with one logistics partner rather than coordinating multiple providers across the shipment.

Project & Specialist Sea Freight

Not every shipment fits neatly inside a standard container.
Intercargo can also coordinate specialist ocean freight for oversized, heavy or project cargo requiring additional planning.
Depending on the cargo, our team can assist with suitable equipment, routing, packing, crating, port handling and onward transportation.
For complex shipments, Intercargo can combine sea freight with our wider project cargo, warehousing, customs and road freight capabilities to create an integrated logistics solution.

FCL or LCL – Which Sea Freight Service Do I Need?

Choose FCL when: you have enough cargo to make effective use of a container, require dedicated container space or regularly move larger shipment volumes.
Choose LCL when: your shipment does not require a full container and you want to pay for the space your cargo uses.
