Frequently asked questions about sea freight transport
Everything you need to know about ocean freight, FCL/LCL options and the main international shipping routes we operate.
FCL (Full Container Load) means renting an entire container (20', 40' or 40' HC) exclusively for your cargo, recommended for large volumes. LCL (Less than Container Load) means consolidation — your cargo shares a container with other shippers, ideal for small volumes (under 15 m³), with cost calculated per cubic meter.
We operate on all major routes: China–Europe (Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen → Constanța, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp), Southeast Asia, India, US East and West Coasts, South America, Africa and Australia. Constanța is our main hub for import/export.
Standard FCL transit: 30-40 days port-to-port for China → Constanța, 28-35 days for China → Hamburg/Rotterdam. Express services with 22-25-day routes are available at additional cost. LCL adds 3-7 days for consolidation/deconsolidation.
Almost any type of cargo: general goods, machinery and industrial equipment, construction materials, electronics, furniture, textiles, vehicles (RoRo), hazardous goods (IMO/IMDG), reefer for refrigerated or frozen food, bulk cargo (steel, grains, ores).
FOB (Free On Board) — the seller delivers at the port, the buyer pays for sea freight and insurance. CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) — the seller includes cost, insurance and sea freight to the destination port. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — the seller delivers to final destination with all customs duties included.
We provide complete customs services in Constanța and other ports: filing the customs declaration (DAU), calculating customs duties and VAT, handling ATR/EUR.1, releasing cargo from the terminal and inland transport to your warehouse. The process takes 1-3 working days after vessel arrival.
