Ocean Freight FAQs

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL means you book an entire container exclusively for your cargo. LCL means your cargo shares a container and you pay only for the space used. FCL is more cost-effective above 12–15 CBM and has faster transit due to no consolidation step.

Which NZ ports do you operate from?

We operate across Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Lyttelton, and Wellington. Strong relationships with port operators at each location enable us to resolve issues quickly.

How long does ocean freight from China to NZ take?

FCL from major Chinese ports to Auckland is typically 14–21 days. LCL adds consolidation time — typically 21–28 days total.

Can you handle reefer containers?

Yes. We book reefer containers on all major lanes. Temperature range, pre-cooling, and MPI requirements are all managed by our team.
