LCL

If you do not have sufficient cargo to fill your own container we will provide the solution (LCL - less than container load). We take care of your cargo from origin to destination in our own consolidated containers with other client’s cargo. As a Master Loader we build our own consolidations between the UK and many global locations on both an import and export basis. The benefits of using a master loader are clear as you will receive competitive pricing and real time information straight from the source. We pride ourselves on continually providing the fastest turnaround of consolidated import containers in the UK market, the time taken between vessel arrival, unpacking container and delivery is second to none.
