Ocean Freight
Cost-effective FCL and LCL container shipping across the globe.
Ocean Freight
For high-volume and non-urgent cargo, ocean freight is the most economical way to ship internationally. The A2B Link network books FCL and LCL container space, prepares documentation, and coordinates customs and drayage so your containers move smoothly from port to door.

Ocean Freight Questions
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (full container load) dedicates an entire container to your cargo, best for larger volumes. LCL (less-than-container load) shares a container with other shipments, better for smaller ocean freight.
How long does ocean freight take?
Ocean transit varies by lane, typically a few weeks port-to-port. It is slower than air but far more economical for high-volume, non-urgent cargo.
Do you coordinate drayage from the port?
Yes. The A2B Link network arranges port drayage and transloading so your containers move from the port to their final destination.
