Ocean Freight to Colombia

When you ship containers to Colombia with Interworld Freight, you’re assured of all the benefits of ocean freight shipping, along with those of having a regional market leader handling your international logistics.

Our team has in-depth comprehension of the peculiarities and challenges of container shipping to Central and South America, and of the strategies and tactics involved in managing them. The result is a streamlined and seamless shipping experience, regardless of whether you choose our full-container-load (FCL) or less-than-container-load (LCL) freight forwarding services.

Of course, it helps to use the service most appropriate for your shipping scenario, so it’s a good idea to get familiar with each of these two ways to ship goods to Colombia in containers.

We can help you decide if LCL or FCL shipping would be your best option, but to keep it simple for now, we recommend our FCL service if your goods consignment will be large enough to fill a 20-foot or 40-foot shipping container, or if you don’t want your freight to be consolidated in the same container as other shippers consignments.

On the other hand, for a smaller shipment, LCL freight is often the better choice, as it removes the need to consider container type and size (unless your goods need temperature control or other specialized equipment for shipping), and fees are based only on the volume and weight of your consignment.

If you choose to send your goods to Colombia as LCL freight, keep in mind that they will share a container with goods belonging to other shippers.
