Ocean Freight from Jamaica to USA

Whether you choose to send your freight from Jamaica to the United States as a full-container-load (FCL), or consolidated along with other freight using a less-than-container-load (LCL) service, the benefits of ocean freight shipping are magnified when you transport your goods as containerized freight.

That’s because the economy of shipping by sea is combined with extra security and protection for your cargo, and because direct handling of your goods is kept to a minimum.

FCL shipping is especially suitable if you’re concerned about exposure of your freight to manual handling, or require it to be isolated from other shippers’ goods. It’s not necessary to fill the container, but, of course, you will get the best value for money if you do.

Otherwise, for a smaller shipment, you can minimize costs with LCL shipping, which means your freight will be consolidated, with other shippers’ goods, into a full container load. It’s a less costly method if your consignment will occupy less than 15 to 16 cubic meters of container space.
