Comprehensive Ocean Shipping Solutions

At Trusted Global Logistics & Transport, we understand that sea freight is the backbone of international trade, handling approximately 90% of global cargo movement. Our comprehensive ocean shipping solutions are designed to meet diverse business needs, from small-scale LCL shipments to full container loads for major commercial operations.

Full Container Load (FCL) Services

Our FCL services provide exclusive container space for your cargo, offering maximum security and faster transit times. Whether you're shipping 20ft or 40ft containers, standard or high-cube, our FCL solutions ensure your goods receive dedicated attention throughout the journey. This service is ideal for businesses with sufficient cargo volume to fill an entire container, providing cost-effective rates and reduced handling risks.

Less than Container Load (LCL) Services

For smaller shipments that don't require a full container, our LCL services offer an economical solution. We consolidate multiple shipments from different customers into a single container, allowing you to benefit from ocean freight rates without the need to fill an entire container. Our experienced consolidation team ensures proper cargo segregation and documentation for smooth customs clearance.

Trusted Global Logistics & Transport excels in handling specialized cargo requirements, including refrigerated containers for perishable goods, flat rack containers for oversized machinery, and open-top containers for tall cargo. Our team coordinates with specialized equipment providers and ensures proper cargo securing and documentation for safe transport.
