With FCL (Full Container Load): The cheapest way is shipping by sea freight but the transit time is longer than air freight. If time is not an issue, sea freight is always the best option for FCL. With our close relationships with partners ONE, Cosco, OOCL, Maersk, Evergreen, CMA and Hapag-lloyd, SM Global Logistics will always ensure to offer you the best possible rate.

 With LCL (Less than Container Load): There are two ways for shipping this kind   of cargo. If time is not an issue, a cost-saving option is to combine your goods with  other small volume shipments.
