Ocean freight to and from Singapore via FCL and LCL

Sea freight to and from Singapore is the ideal solution when volume, cost-effective capacity, and scheduled delivery take precedence over speed. Nordcarrier both FCL and LCL, so your shipment can be tailored to the volume of cargo rather than forced into a single standard model.

FCL – Full Container Load

FCL is a type of ocean freight where your company has an entire container at its disposal. Shipments exceeding approximately 15 m³ are typically best suited for FCL, as you get exclusive use of the container and avoid consolidation with other shippers’ cargo.

Nordcarrier arrange for the appropriate container types for shipments to Singapore, including 20-foot dry containers, 40-foot dry containers, 40-foot high-cube containers, reefer containers, flat-rack containers, open-top containers, and platform containers. The choice depends on the cargo’s dimensions, weight, temperature requirements, and handling needs.

LCL – Less than Container Load

LCL is a type of ocean freight where your cargo is consolidated with other shipments in the same container. This solution is ideal for smaller shipments where you don’t have enough volume to fill an entire container but still want to use ocean freight as your mode of transport.

With LCL, proper packaging, accurate weight specifications, and documentation are essential because the cargo is handled as part of a consolidated shipment. Nordcarrier with the relevant parties to ensure that booking, consolidation, customs clearance, and delivery are all seamlessly integrated.

Air freight to and from Singapore for time-sensitive shipments

Air freight to and from Singapore is the right solution when speed, control, and quick response times are more important than the lowest possible shipping costs. Air freight has transit times measured in days rather than weeks and is therefore ideal for production stoppages, rush orders, spare parts, high-value cargo, and shipments with tight delivery deadlines.

Nordcarrier & Sea A/S has its own IATA code and thus direct access to airlines. This makes it easier to assess capacity, routes, and service types when your shipment needs to be delivered quickly.

• Express and time-sensitive air freight: Used for urgent shipments where quick booking and close coordination are essential.
• Consolidated air freight: Multiple shipments are combined to make efficient use of capacity, without requiring you to book a full charter.
• Charter: Full or shared charter capacity can be considered for particularly time-sensitive, large, or complex shipments.
