SEA FREIGHT

Import/Export Sea freight is an eminent feature among the services offered by AK Unicargo. Our network of agents and logistics partners worldwide enable our clients to benefit from a package tailored to their individual needs and time requirements. We excel in facilitating our clients with the following Sea freight services: – Worldwide export consolidation services. · Import de-consolidation services. · Handling FCL’s / LCL’s shipments to worldwide destinations. FCL: If a shipper / importer has enough cargo to make either a 20ft or 40ft container cost- effective, the product is sold at a container rate. The customer pays an agreed price for the container, it is then totally at his discretion as to how much cargo is placed inside the container- the more tonnage placed inside the container the lower the unit price. LCL: This is the same type of product, as the consolidation service on airfreight where there is not enough cargo for the shippers needs to warrant paying for a 20ft container. So space is sold at the applicable weight / measure price to and from the major ports throughout the world-this is effectively a groupage service. Shipping Lines As we work with all shipping lines, a detailed schedule of services can be provided which highlights the frequency, transit time and real freight costs as they do vary considerably for different lines within the same trade route.

LOGISTICS NETWORK

Going Global- A Growing Trend Global sourcing is becoming increasingly popular as a way of accessing new opportunities and strengthening your competitive edge. It is common practice for companies to develop a product in the U.S.A, manufacture it in Japan and sell it in Europe. This means that merchandise will often make a longer and perhaps more complicated journey from its source to the final destination- from concept to consumption. Managing The Process AK Unicargo chain management services are designed to ensure that each step of your logistics chain is carefully coordinated and managed. Our staff is comprised of professionals who are committed to securing the process so as to meet your requirements. Given our network of agents and logistics partners around the globe, we are in a position to support your buying, selling and logistics processes anywhere in the world. Linking Up With You In order to better understand your specific needs and expectations, we work closely together with you.

Their job is to understand the nature of your business and assist in optimizing your logistics processes. Working in conjunction with you, the client team will develop, implement and maintain standard operating procedures that will suit your specific needs, thus becoming the fundamental document upon which we will operate your logistics chain.
