SERVICE FREQUENTLY ASKED

Freight Services, Explained

What is the difference between FCL and LCL sea freight?

FCL (Full Container Load) means your cargo occupies an entire container — 20' GP, 40' GP, or 40' HC — with dedicated space and faster port handling. LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidates your goods with other shippers in a shared container, ideal for smaller volumes under roughly 15 CBM where you pay only for the space you use.

Do you handle air freight from Dubai and Sharjah?

Yes. Our aviation desk coordinates scheduled freighter allocations and full or part charter flights via Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC), including Next-Flight-Out priority booking, temperature-controlled pharma, and IATA dangerous goods handling.

Can you clear customs and manage free zone transfers?

Yes. In-house licensed brokers file directly through Dubai Customs Mirsal 2, covering import-for-consumption declarations, transit filings, free zone inward and outward transfers, and MOIAT industrial duty exemptions for qualifying manufacturers.

What containers do you offer for project and breakbulk cargo?

For out-of-gauge and heavy-lift consignments we arrange flat rack and open top containers, roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) transport, multi-axle hydraulic trailers (SPMT) for 500+ tonne payloads, and tandem mobile crane lifts across UAE maritime facilities.
