YOUR IMPORT/EXPORT REQUIRES GREATER FLEXIBILITY & ACCESSIBILITY
Connect your world with our LCL services
GEODIS operates LCL Consolidation Service with reliable and regular sailing schedules, connecting Asia – Oceania - Europe – Americas. We have strategic ocean hubs in Asia and Europe, with a soon-to-be-new hub in America as well. With our frequent departures and extensive freight network, we offer an optimized solution that delivers your cargo to worldwide destinations.
Improve your cost efficiency and freight operations
With our LCL consolidation service, small-volume cargo are consolidated and containerized at our Container Freight Station (CFS) at the origin port before shipping to the destination. In other words, you share space and cost, and only pay for the space you need. You also save time as you do not have to wait for enough cargo to build an entire container. Moreover, ocean freight remains cost-efficient compared to air freight.
