Ocean Freight to Chile

When you choose Interworld Freight for less-than-container-load (LCL) or full-container-load (FCL) shipping to Chile, you’re assured of all the benefits of ocean freight managed by a freight-forwarding leader.

We can deliver you a prompt, competitive quote for shipping your FCL or LCL freight on request, provide integrated logistics services to satisfy shipping requirements, coordinate transportation handovers, and ensure you have real-time visibility of your shipment’s progress throughout.

Choose LCL shipping if your consignment’s volume is less than 15 cubic meters (five to six pallets). We’ll consolidate your freight with other shippers’ consignments to fill a container, while you pay only for the space your freight occupies.

For larger consignments, it’s often more cost-effective to use our FCL service. FCL is also a good idea if you want to avoid the risks of consolidation, such as when issues with another shipper’s goods create a delay in container delivery.
