Beyond ocean freight
One partner, every mode.
Container booking is where we started: full (FCL) and shared (LCL) containers by sea, 20′, 40′, 40′ high-cube and reefer, to and from any port. The desk behind it runs the whole chain, door to door, with our own team and partners.

Effortless by design
If you can book a flight, you can book a container.
No training, no onboarding calls, no forty-tab spreadsheet. Search a lane, pick a sailing, drop in your documents and follow it to the door — every step lives on one page, in plain language.
The hard parts — customs, schedules, carrier paperwork — happen quietly in the background. You just see a price, a date, and where your box is right now.
How booking works
- Get a price. Enter the route and the container; our rate book prices it in under a minute.
- Book online. Add the cargo and your details. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.
- We check and confirm. A person checks every quote and booking; a quote takes nine minutes on average.
- We move it, you follow it. Carrier, customs and trucking to the door, with live status, documents and invoices in your account.

Where we ship
Import and export, worldwide.
Most of our containers sail from China to Rotterdam. Typical port-to-port sailing times from our own 2026 shipments:
| Route | Typical sailing time |
|---|---|
| Shanghai → Rotterdam | about 38 days |
| Ningbo → Rotterdam | about 41 days |
| Yantian → Rotterdam | about 41 days |
Typical, not guaranteed: the real time depends on the carrier, the sailing and any transshipment.
