Large volumes
Bulky or heavy goods where cost per kilo matters more than speed.
For large volumes and controlled costs, sea remains the benchmark. HESTRADE organises your shipments in full containers (FCL) or groupage (LCL), books space with the lines, issues the Bill of Lading and coordinates the port leg — worldwide.
Full container or groupage depending on your volume, optimising fill and cost.
Out-of-gauge goods, heavy lift and roll-on/roll-off when a container won't do.
Preparation and checking of the B/L, documentary consistency and space booking with carriers.
Port handling, agents at destination and road pre/on-carriage for a door-to-door solution.
Bulky or heavy goods where cost per kilo matters more than speed.
Planned supply, food, furniture, machinery, construction.
The best cost/volume ratio for non-urgent import-export.
The Bill of Lading and chosen Incoterm define responsibilities and costs. The sea-only Incoterms — FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF — apply to maritime transport; we advise on the right choice for your commercial relationship and prepare consistent documentation to ease the port and customs leg.
Discuss your sea shipment →FCL (Full Container Load) is a full container dedicated to your goods. LCL (Less than Container Load), or groupage, shares a container between several shippers: ideal for volumes that don't fill a whole container.
The Bill of Lading (B/L) is the document that formalises the transport contract and the carrier's receipt of the goods. We prepare it, verify it and coordinate its issuance with the shipping line.
Sea is slower than air but far more economical on volume: typically 2 to 6 weeks depending on origin, destination and sailings. We optimise routing and port connections.
Yes: we organise road transport before and after the sea leg, for a door-to-door solution coordinated by a single point of contact.
