When cargo must travel long distances at an optimal cost

Suitable for containerised, general, project, and dangerous cargo with port and terminal operations included.

Sea freight is efficient for large cargo volumes and international routes where capacity and cost effectiveness are essential. IFC COLOS arranges container shipping and the chartering of vessels, barges, and feeders, selecting the solution according to cargo volume, transit time, and geography.

Our team works with leading shipping lines and coordinates space booking, port handling, consolidation, temporary storage, transit customs clearance, and onward transportation by other modes.

Dangerous cargo is transported in accordance with IMDG requirements and international safety standards. This format allows the sea leg to be integrated with road or rail delivery into a single logistics chain.
