Sea shipping from China is the best option for large consignments of goods, especially if it is important to reduce transportation costs. Grand Logistics Company, with 17 years of experience in international transportation, offers a comprehensive approach to logistics and ensures that your cargo is delivered quickly, safely and at a reasonable price.
Types of containers for sea transportation
We offer different types of containers to meet the needs of any cargo:
- Standard FCL (Full Container Load): Available sizes are 20 feet, 40 feet and 40 feet HQ (High Cube). They are ideal for large consignments of goods, which allows you to save on cost with high volume.
- LCL (Less than Container Load): If your cargo does not fill the container completely, you can use the partial load service. This allows you to share the cost of delivery with other shippers and significantly reduce costs, especially for small and medium-sized businesses.
Features of transportation of groupage cargo (LCL)
Less than containerized cargo, or LCL, involves the consolidation of several consignments of goods from different senders in one container. This model is especially beneficial for businesses that do not need a full container and want to optimize their costs.
- Cost savings: with LCL, the customer pays only for the part of the container that is occupied by his cargo, not the full container, which reduces the cost of transportation for small consignments.
- Flexibility in terms of volume: the ability to ship even small batches of goods that do not require renting a full container. This is convenient for companies that often update their assortment or want to try a new product on the market.
- Inspection and packaging: when sending groupage cargo, careful packaging and labeling is important, as cargoes from different customers are transported together. Grand Logistics Company makes sure that each shipment is properly packed, which minimizes the risk of damage during transportation.
- Customs requirements: since the groupage container includes goods from several senders, customs clearance is carried out in a special way. The consignments are pre-screened and grouped by characteristics, which simplifies the inspection and minimizes downtime at the border.
Features of dangerous goods transportation
For the transportation of dangerous goods, Grand Logistics Company adheres to strict international standards, ensuring safety and compliance with IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) standards.
- Categories of dangerous goods: this category includes explosives, flammable liquids, chemicals, radioactive and toxic substances. Such goods require special transportation conditions.
- Labeling and packaging: Dangerous goods must be carefully packaged and labeled in accordance with the UN classification and IMDG standards. Each hazard class has unique requirements for packaging, labels, and protective materials to minimize risks.
- Documentation: In addition to the standard bill of lading, dangerous goods require additional documents, including certificates of conformity, licenses, and declarations. This is necessary to confirm that the goods meet safety requirements and simplifies customs clearance.
- Temperature and transportation conditions control: Some hazardous substances require special temperature, humidity, or ventilation conditions. We ensure compliance with these requirements and use appropriate containers equipped with climate control.
- Route and port planning: ports and routes are selected taking into account the availability of specialized sites for dangerous goods and the possibility of their safe handling. We choose ports with equipment for handling dangerous goods and coordinate the route to minimize transportation time and contact with other cargoes.
- Personnel training: every employee working with dangerous goods undergoes special training on safety rules, loading and unloading of such goods. This reduces the risk of accidents and makes the process more reliable.

- Shanghai is one of the busiest ports in the world, providing fast and regular connections.
