Sea Freight
Maritime transport is currently the main means of transportation for international trade. The use of maritime containers for the transportation of goods is widely used in all types of industries, for example: for the transportation of food and beverages, in the construction sector, in the automotive industry, aerospace, fashion, oil and energy. Nicaragua has a very important geographical position for international trade since it has access to both oceans, making it a key country for international maritime transportation between the ports of the American continent and geographical areas such as Asia and Europe.

FCL AND LCL: WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
Basically, you have two modes available to transport your cargo in a container.
FCL (Full Container Load) offers you the possibility to ship your cargo in a container that will be used exclusively to transport your goods. It is the best option with large volumes of cargo or in case of delicate or valuable cargo.
LCL (Less than Container Load) is like a collection container. Your goods share the container with other cargo. In this way, you can hire exactly the space your cargo really needs. We will be happy to help you choose the mode that best suits your shipment.
FCL and LCL: when is one better than the other?
As a general rule, FCL is suitable for large volumes. The sender loads the container and the receiver unloads it. In this case, depending on the business operation, our customer has the possibility to choose from a variety of services and, for example, to choose the first vessel to sail, the cheapest or the fastest.
LCL is worthwhile with smaller shipments. This mode allows us to combine shipments from several customers. In this way, shipping costs can be spread over several customers. The cargo will be taken to a warehouse, placed in the container according to maritime regulations and transported to the ship. At the port of destination, the container will be opened and the unit shipments will be transported to the intended destination. For certain business operations we offer LCL-Express options.
For example, if a customer needs to ship an express delivery from Shanghai to New York, the cargo will be shipped by sea to Long Beach, Los Angeles, and from there it will be trucked to New York. In this way, lead times are reduced compared to transport by sea alone. In addition, this fast mode is more economical than sending the goods by air freight.
We are a company that carries out air exports, carrying out intermodal logistics. We offer you a personalized service with a Team with extensive experience in Air Cargo and integrated logistics to simplify the most tedious processes in this commercial sector.
