Sea Freight / container shipments

Sea Freight

Through our network of shipping agents, ILS have cultivated a long term partnership with major shipping lines which means we can offer our customers regular, reliable links between all of the world’s commercial ports. Frequent departures give our customers the choice and service they require with a pricing structure to mach. These include :

LCL (Less than container load)

This is by far the most popular method of export and a cost effective way to ship your cargo giving you the added benefit of space being sold on weight/ measure pricing as opposed to paying for a 20ft / 40ft container. This is effectively a groupage service.

FCL (Full container load)

If you have sufficient cargo to make either a 20ft of 40ft container than this is by far the best cost effective service available as the container is sold at a total container price. The shipper pays an agreed price for the container and can utilise the space inside to best suit their needs. The more cargo placed inside the container the lower the unit price cost.
