Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?

With FCL the whole container belongs to a single shipper, who also handles loading and sealing. With LCL, cargo that does not fill a container is combined with other shipments and moved as a consolidated load. GFT Logistics helps you choose the right option for your cargo volume.

Do you carry dangerous goods by sea?

Yes. GFT Logistics carries dangerous goods in line with the IMDG classification and manages the declaration and labelling processes. Simply tick the dangerous goods option on the quote form and enter the UN number.

How does door-to-door ocean freight work?

GFT Logistics collects your cargo from the factory, handles customs clearance, organises the sea transport and delivers to the destination address. When needed, it combines sea freight with road or rail as an intermodal service with a single point of contact.
