FCL ocean freight for U.S. imports and exports

Full containers into and out of the United States, and ocean freight worldwide. We hold contracts with all major ocean carriers.

Ocean freight we book

FCL imports

A full container arriving in the United States. We book the sailing and the U.S. port, then the truck or rail move after the vessel discharges.

FCL exports

A full container leaving the United States. We book the sailing, watch the cutoff, and stay on the file through the vessel.

Worldwide ocean freight

Ocean moves that are not a U.S. import or export. We book them on the same carrier contracts, port to port or door to door.

Shared containers

When the cargo does not fill a container, it can move in a consolidation. Receiving, the sailing, and delivery after unpacking are quoted on their own.

Breakbulk

When the freight will not fit a standard container, we quote the sailings that serve your port pair or your door addresses.

FCL, worldwide lanes, and the carriers

DOF Logistics is a licensed NVOCC. We provide FCL service for imports into the United States and exports from the United States. We also provide ocean freight worldwide. We hold contracts with all major ocean carriers, and we book your container on those services. The carrier operates the vessel.

You tell us the date the cargo must arrive. We recommend a sailing, book it, and stay on the file through pickup, the vessel, and release. After sailing, you can follow the container in the tracking dashboard. Customs coordination and cargo insurance can sit on the same file. The ports and rail terminals are on the network page.
