FCL and LCL sea freight to and from Turkey
We plan your full container (FCL) and groupage (LCL) sea shipments on contracted lines and complete them with port-to-door road delivery and customs clearance.
An economical option for larger volumes
Sea freight is the most economical mode for large volumes that are not highly time-critical. If your cargo fills a container it travels FCL; if not, it is consolidated as LCL. We help you choose the better option based on your cargo details.
We do not stop at the port: pre-carriage to the port of loading, road delivery from the port of discharge to the consignee and customs formalities are coordinated in one file. You can follow the shipment status online on our portal.

- Machinery and equipment. Industrial goods that fit a standard container or need a special one.
- Furniture and building materials. Bulky products that take up more space than weight.

- Consolidated LCL shipments. Several cartons or pallets that do not fill a container.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose FCL or LCL?
If your cargo fills most of a container, FCL is usually more economical and faster. For smaller volumes, LCL lowers the cost by sharing container space with other shippers. We recommend the right option based on your cargo details.
Do you offer port-to-door delivery?
Yes. After formalities at the port of discharge, we deliver your cargo by road to the consignee’s address. Where needed, we also arrange pre-carriage from your address to the port of loading.
How is customs handled?
Our own customs team handles export, import and transit formalities. We share the list of required documents with you at the booking stage.
