FCL Shipments
A Full Container Load (FCL) shipment gives you exclusive use of a 20-foot or 40-foot container — your cargo is the only cargo in the box. For importers with sufficient volume, FCL offers the most competitive ocean freight rate per unit, the fastest transit times, and the lowest risk of cargo damage compared to groupage consolidations.
Sealine Consolidators manages FCL shipments from all our active trade lanes: India (Nhava Sheva/JNPT, Mundra, Chennai), China (Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou), and UAE (Jebel Ali, Dubai). We maintain direct relationships with major ocean carriers operating these corridors, enabling us to negotiate competitive freight rates and secure reliable space even during peak demand periods.
Whether you are shipping a single container of general merchandise or running a regular multi-container import programme, Sealine provides the same standard of communication, documentation control, and customs management on every FCL shipment. Our team manages the entire process from origin booking and stuffing supervision through to Kenya customs clearance and inland delivery — so you have one professional point of contact for the full journey.
Why Choose Sealine for LCL
FCL shipments are particularly well-suited for importers of high-volume goods: industrial hardware, construction materials, machinery and equipment, packaged FMCG products, clothing and textiles, and consumer electronics. When your cargo volume consistently exceeds approximately 15 CBM per shipment, FCL typically becomes more cost-effective than LCL — and Sealine can help you make that assessment based on your actual cargo profile.
Our FCL service covers both standard dry containers and, where required, specialised equipment such as open-top, flat rack, or high-cube containers. Speak to our team about the right container type for your specific cargo, and we will confirm availability and rates with carriers promptly.
For overseas agents and exporters in India, China, or UAE who regularly ship to Kenya, Sealine offers a reliable FCL destination agent service. We handle KRA customs clearance, coordinate with Mombasa Port Authority, manage freight release, and organise inland transport — all while keeping you and your client informed throughout. Our documentation accuracy means fewer queries from KRA, faster examinations, and reduced exposure to delays and additional costs
