Import & Export
Your container is still at sea, and we’ve already requested the unloading invoice — so it’s ready for release without unnecessary delays.
About the service
FCL (Full Container Load) shipping means the container is used exclusively for your cargo. You pay a fixed rate regardless of how full the container is, and your shipment departs immediately after loading, without waiting for other shippers.
The greatest delays at the port usually result from coordination between the shipping line, the terminal, the warehouse, and customs. We handle all of these communications for you, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple parties or follow up on every step yourself.

Maersk lineCarrier restriction
The client booked a container with Maersk, whose policy did not allow pickup by a third-party carrier. We arranged warehouse transshipment and continued the shipment by rail, fully complying with the carrier’s requirements while avoiding delays.
Result:Delivered without delays, in full compliance with the line
GdyniaGdańsk
The container was unloaded in Gdynia instead of Gdańsk, where the transshipment warehouse was located. We organized additional transport and ensured the empty container was returned to the correct depot in Gdynia, preventing penalty charges from the shipping line.
DemurrageCorrected invoice
The shipping line issued a demurrage invoice that the client believed was incorrect. We challenged the charges, requested cancellation of the original invoice, and obtained a corrected one within a few business days.

Additional charges may apply for port storage or late return of the empty container. We plan inland transportation before the vessel arrives to help prevent these costs.
