Answers to common questions about our sea cargo services.
FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire container exclusively for your cargo. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shipments. FCL is ideal for large volumes (typically 15+ CBM), while LCL is cost-effective for smaller shipments (1–14 CBM).
Transit times vary by destination. India is typically 7–14 days, UK and Europe 18–25 days, East Africa 10–18 days, and USA/Canada 25–35 days. These are port-to-port estimates; door-to-door delivery adds a few additional days for customs and inland transport.
Yes, EC Cargo ships vehicles regularly via sea freight. Cars can be loaded inside 20ft or 40ft containers, or shipped via RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels for certain destinations. We handle all export documentation, customs clearance, and can arrange delivery at the destination port.
FCL is charged per container (flat rate per 20ft or 40ft). LCL is charged per CBM (cubic meter) or per revenue ton (whichever is greater). Additional charges include documentation, customs clearance, port handling, and destination delivery. We provide all-inclusive quotes upfront.
Marine insurance is not automatically included but is highly recommended and available at competitive rates. We offer all-risk cargo insurance covering the full value of your goods against loss, damage, pilferage, and natural calamities during the entire sea transit.
