YOUR SHIPMENT, YOUR REQUIREMENTS
An ocean freight option for your goods.
Ocean freight serves international supply chains carrying goods from food products to automotive parts. AJF handles part loads and pallets, full containers, project and break-bulk cargo, liquid and powder shipments, and shippers' own equipment.
01 / PART LOADS
Less than container load
When your cargo will not fill a container, an LCL service combines your goods with other shippers' cargo. This gives you access to sea freight without paying for a full container.
How LCL shipments work
- Goods are delivered to a customs-controlled warehouse and entered for export.
- The forwarder combines shipments into a container, which is cleared for export and loaded onto a vessel.
- At destination, the container moves to a customs-controlled warehouse for unloading.
- Each consignee clears their goods before delivery.
02 / FULL LOADS
Full container load
A full container gives the shipper control over loading and use of the available space. The container can be sealed at the factory, with the seal checked by the consignee on arrival.
Standard equipment
- 20ft containers
- 40ft containers
- 40ft high cube containers
10ft and 20ft high cube equipment has limited availability on many routes. Contact AJF to discuss specific container requirements.
03 / SPECIALIST CARGO
Oversize & break-bulk
For goods that are oversized, very heavy or unsuitable for a standard container, AJF can arrange specialist equipment to suit the shipment.
- Open top containers in 20ft and 40ft configurations
- Flat racks in 20ft and 40ft sizes
- Open side containers in 20ft and 40ft configurations
Open side containers are specialised equipment and are available only on certain routes, on request. AJF also handles shippers' own equipment for particular countries or shipment requirements.
04 / LIQUIDS & POWDERS
ISO tank shipments
AJF offers carriage of liquids and powders in 20ft and 40ft ISO tanks. Contact the team to discuss equipment and shipment requirements.
