Helping you navigate ocean freight
What ocean freight services does ACF Global provide?
We coordinate international ocean freight shipments across major global trade lanes. Services include full container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL), port-to-port shipping, and door-to-door logistics support.
What’s the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?
Full container load (FCL) shipping uses an entire container dedicated to one shipment. Less-than-container load (LCL) consolidates smaller shipments from multiple shippers into a single container, making it a cost-effective option for lower-volume cargo.
