Frequently asked questions

About sea freight.

What's the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL (Full Container Load) is a full container just for your goods. With LCL (Less than Container Load) you share the container with other shipments and only pay for your space. That's ideal for smaller loads.

Can you help with customs?

Yes. We handle all customs formalities, so your goods can leave the port without delay.

How long does sea freight take?

That depends on the ports of departure and destination. Your quote includes an expected transit time.

Can my container go straight to your warehouse?

Yes. After clearance your container goes to our 20,000+ m² warehouse at Vanadiumweg 13 in Amersfoort. We unload and put everything into stock, ready for fulfilment.

Can you ship dangerous goods by sea?

Yes. We're qualified to ship dangerous goods safely by sea, in compliance with all regulations.
