FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our ocean freight services.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL ocean freight?
FCL (Full Container Load) gives you an entire container dedicated to your cargo, which is ideal for large or high-volume shipments and offers faster handling. LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidates your goods with other shippers in a shared container, so you only pay for the space you use — a cost-effective option for smaller shipments.
How long does ocean freight shipping take?
Ocean freight transit times depend on the trade lane. Regional routes can take 7–15 days, while long-haul intercontinental routes typically take 20–40 days port-to-port. Door-to-door delivery adds time for inland transport and customs clearance. Ostina Freight provides estimated transit times with every quote.
How are ocean freight rates calculated?
FCL rates are charged per container (20ft or 40ft), while LCL rates are based on whichever is greater between the cargo weight (per tonne) and volume (per cubic metre). Final pricing also factors in origin/destination charges, fuel surcharges, customs and any value-added services such as insurance or door delivery.
Does Ostina Freight offer door-to-door ocean shipping?
Yes. We arrange complete door-to-door ocean freight — pickup from your warehouse, export handling, ocean transit, import customs clearance and final-mile delivery — as well as port-to-port options if you prefer to manage either end yourself.
Can I insure my ocean freight shipment?
Yes. We offer comprehensive marine cargo insurance that protects the full value of your goods against loss or damage in transit. Coverage can be added at the time of booking for both FCL and LCL shipments.
