Sea Freight FAQ
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire container — best for larger volumes. LCL (Less than Container Load) shares container space with other shippers — economical for smaller consignments. Our team advises on the break-even point for your cargo.
Which Egyptian ports do you operate from?
We handle export and import cargo through Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna, and Port Said — selecting the optimal gateway based on your cargo, carrier, and inland delivery point.
How long does a quotation take?
We aim to respond within 24 business hours (Saturday–Thursday) once route, commodity, and Incoterm details are confirmed. Use our online quote form for faster routing to the sea freight desk.
Can you handle reefer or dangerous goods?
Yes — subject to carrier approval and correct documentation. Reefer containers require set-point and ventilation details; DG cargo needs IMO class, UN number, and MSDS. Mention special requirements in your quote request.
