Sea Freight - FCL and LCL Shipments

Your Shipping – Our Passion

About 90% of the world’s cargo moves by sea freight for economic reasons. But to realise the value for money that sea shipping offers, you need a reliable and solid sea shipping partner and freight forwarder.

Gava Australia offers both full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) forwarding services that are transparent, reliable and comprehensive. A logistics partner with experience and industry knowledge is vital when shipping cargo to or from Australia.

Many high-volume shipping companies treat sea freight as a number game. But, at Gava Australia, we are different and start with the belief that any LCL or FCL shipments we handle are invaluable to our clients. Reliability in stock management is vital for their business’s reputation and long-term success.

That’s why we are the preferred freight forwarder for businesses and individuals looking to transport high-value goods on sea freight.

Door to door Sea Freight forwarder (FCL & LCL)

We provide all the LCL and FCL sea freight forwarding services you need to transport your cargo door-to-door cost-effectively while considering your business’ time constraints. From any origin or destination, we’ll book your shipment, arrange for pickup and delivery and manage the shipping documentation, providing quarantine and customs clearance.

The attention to detail and comprehensive approach can help you add value to your services and grow your business while reducing the risks of shipping cargo. In addition, we have long-term relationships with our customers, so our success simply reflects our customers’ success.

We are not just a freight forwarder; we are a business service provider.

A partner, not just a product, has been our service philosophy for a quarter of a century. It has helped us develop long-term partnerships.

No matter what shipping method you need, we have the track record and knowledge to get the best outcomes for your LCL and FCL shipping.

FCL sea freight

FCL provides the cheapest landing cost per item, by optimising the entire loading space of the container (20’GP, 40’GP or 40’HC). We’ll ship your full container load for you, providing strategy and logistical advice as we go.

Full Container Load Sea Freight

Full container load or FCL shipment provides the cheapest landing cost per item by optimising the loading space of an entire container (20’GP, 40’GP or 40’HC). We’ll ship your full container load for you, providing strategy and logistical advice as we go.

FCL shipping, along with our comprehensive logistic management, means you can better manage stock so your logistics network can work for you in stock management.

The transparency of our FCL shipment service means you can track and manage stock without bottlenecks and delays, so your goods arrive where and when needed.

We help you realise the value of shipping an entire container to the final destination. Any delays to a large consignment, such as with FCL sea freight, can harm your business’s reputation.

Less Than Container Load Sea Freight

Less Than Container Load or LCL sea freight is ideal when you can’t afford to wait until your additional orders are ready at the factory to make FCL shipments and your cargo is needed urgently. We provide regular, weekly consolidation services for LCL shipments.

Unlike a full container load, when transporting LCL, it’s best to have a shipping partner who can help consolidate shipments, find unused container space quickly, and get it on its way.

With our experience, hands-on approach and links to multiple shipping lines, we can ensure that your LCL sea freight is manageable and a viable alternative to leaving the stock in transit until one container is available.

When you have an LCL sea freight forwarder with our experience, then you will benefit from the opportunities of consolidated shipping,

The benefits of Sea Freight

Cost-Effective

If you have the time, sea freight forwarding is significantly more affordable than its air freight counterpart. It also reduces unit costs on items considerably because of less handling and transportation in large volumes.

High Capacity

Ship massive quantities or large items by sea freight, with fewer constraints on shipment size over long distances. There are no standard container sizes, particularly with FCL sea freight and LCL sea freight options, and almost no limits on what cargo can be shipped by sea.

Stock Level

If planned properly, you can use the sea as “your warehouse” while your cargo is in transit on the ship, reducing your storage cost. At Gava Australia, we also have real-time tracking and transparency to give you peace of mind on stock management through logistics.

Environmentally friendly

Sea freight forwarding has less environmental footprint than any other freight method by comparable volume of goods transported per mile. The advantage is only likely to improve with environmental advances in modern shipping, such as electric engines. In addition, shipping helps in reducing your supply chains’ carbon footprint.
