International Sea Freight Services

Less Than A Container Load (LCL)

CargoMaster offers international sea freight consolidation services (LCL) the most cost effective way to move shipments that do not require a 20ft container from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide (sea freight from other locations and remote locations can be collected and consolidated at the closest capital city) , Vessels sail weekly from all Australian capital cities. Less than a container load sea freight is charged at a per cubic meter rate or actual weight whichever is greater. All shipments have a minimum charge of 1 cubic meter, no matter how small your shipment is. If your consignment is small it may be a better idea to consign your goods by air freight.

All LCL shipments will need to have a packing list and all pieces (or boxes)  should be numbered and labelled “fragile” (if required). CargoMaster is able to pick up your LCL shipment from almost anywhere in Australia. Once collected your goods are transported to a consolidation warehouse and consolidated with other consignments. Most LCL cargo is transshipped in Singapore. LCL shipping requires more handling than FCL shipping and as such you should package your shipment well for international transportation. Boxes that are 15-20kg are easily handled and help to save the container packers backs too!
