FAQ

Q: How do you handle container space shortages during peak seasons?

A: We hold fixed space allocations with core ocean carriers out of South China, securing equipment and vessel slots during high-demand quarters (Q3/Q4).

Q: What is your procedure if a container is rolled by the carrier?

A: Clients are notified within 12 hours. We automatically roll bookings to the next immediate vessel string with the same carrier or re-allocate space at no additional administrative cost.

Q: Can you handle hazardous (DG) cargo?

A: Yes. We manage IMO Class 2 through Class 9 materials provided proper MSDS and dangerous goods declaration forms are approved prior to booking.
