Ocean Freight Management — stable capacity, predictable cost
End-to-end management of FCL, LCL, and consolidation services across major trade lanes — from carrier booking and documentation to CFS handling, customs, and last-mile delivery.
Designed for complex ocean supply chains
Ocean freight is the backbone of global trade — but capacity swings, congestion, and regulatory complexity can quickly impact your business. Our Ocean Freight Management service is built to stabilize your flows, protect capacity, and give you full visibility end-to-end.
From single-lane recurring shipments to multi-origin consolidation programs, Freight Ways Logisticss coordinates carriers, container yards, CFS operations, and inland transport under one accountable team.
Why our ocean freight management works
Secured capacity
Preferred carrier relationships, contract allocations, and backup options during peak seasons.
Clean documentation
Accurate B/L, manifests, commercial docs and customs filings to avoid delays and penalties.
Smart consolidation
LCL, groupage and multi-origin consolidation designed for better cost per CBM.
Lane-by-lane visibility
Milestone tracking from stuffing and gate-in to vessel departure, arrival and de-stuffing.

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book ocean freight?
Ideally 2–3 weeks before cargo readiness, and longer for peak seasons. For recurring volumes, we can plan capacity on a lane-by-lane basis.
Do you manage both FCL and LCL?
Yes. We handle FCL, LCL, consolidation, and deconsolidation via trusted CFS partners.
Can you support dangerous goods and special cargo?
Subject to route and carrier acceptance, we can manage DG, OOG and project cargo with the required documentation and handling.
How do you keep us updated during the voyage?
You receive milestone-based updates for gate-in, vessel departure, transshipment, arrival, clearance and delivery, along with exception alerts.
