Ocean Freight

Keep Your Business Sailing Worldwide
UPS Supply Chain Solutions offers a full array of global ocean freight and transportation services. We can handle almost any size shipment, from less-than-container loads to full container loads, special equipment, and oversized cargo. Our advanced tracking provides visibility of critical milestones throughout the journey.

From almost any origin, destination or carrier, we can provide streamlined freight forwarding to book your cargo, arrange for pickup and delivery, and manage the shipping documentation. With decades of experience, we facilitate the entire forwarding process according to your specifications as well as the requirements of the import and export countries.

As one of the world's leading Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCC),* we can maximize your routing and transit time options by managing your ocean shipments door-to-door, with ease, visibility and global reach. Choose from our flexible ocean freight services based on your timing, cargo size and equipment needs.

  • FCL (Full Container Load) - Our comprehensive NVOCC* services provide frequent departures at competitive rates for full container load (FCL) shipments from major ports around the world..

  • LCL (Less-Than-Container Load) - When you don't have enough cargo for a full container, we offer less-than-container load (LCL) service between major ports worldwide.

  • Sea/Air Service - When you have faster transit times requirements and air freight is too expensive, our sea/air service is an effective solution combining the economies of ocean freight with the speed of air freight.
