Why choose maritime transport?

Maritime transport is the most cost-effective means of transportation for medium and large volume shipments. Sea freight allows for the transportation of large quantities of goods at relatively low costs compared to other modes of transportation such as air or road transport.

 

We offer customized options designed to adapt to your specific needs and optimize your transportation costs based on your shipments, timelines, and destinations.

 

LPE Import-Export provides its expertise and network of partners to help you choose the best maritime transport options for your business.

Our company also offers combined transportation options (maritime, road, rail) to optimize costs and shipping times.

What is the minimum volume required for sea freight?

Maritime freight is a viable option starting from 2 cubic meters of goods, but it is generally more cost-effective for companies to transport medium to large volume shipments to distribute fixed shipping costs.

 

However, it is important to note that maritime freight has the longest transit time among all modes of transport, ranging from a few days to several weeks depending on the destinations.

 

If you need an urgent shipment, it is advisable to opt for air freight.

 

With us, you have the option to choose between consolidation (LCL) or full containers (FCL) based on your needs. Consolidation allows you to combine your goods with those of other shippers to reduce costs, while a full container offers more flexibility and security for your goods.

Choosing a Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL) maritime option?

You can consider an FCL shipment if your 20-foot container (33m3) is filled with at least 15 cubic meters of cargo. This will allow you to optimize shipping costs and have a secure transport solution for your goods.

 

However, if you don’t have enough goods to fill a full container, we suggest opting for consolidation (LCL), which will be more cost-effective.

 

Consolidation involves combining your goods with those of other shippers to fill a full container and distribute shipping costs.

 

This solution is particularly suitable for small volumes and occasional shipments. We can assist you in choosing the most suitable solution for your needs based on volume, budget, and shipping timelines.
