Our Comprehensive Range of Marine Shipping Services

At iMarina, we offer a wide array of marine shipping services designed to cater to diverse needs. Our services are not just about moving cargo from point A to point B; they're about providing end-to-end solutions that simplify your supply chain and optimize your operations. Let's take a closer look at the core services we offer:

Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping

FCL shipping is the ideal choice for businesses that have enough cargo to fill an entire container. This option provides greater control over your shipment, reduces the risk of damage, and often results in faster transit times. With iMarina, you can choose from a variety of container sizes and types to accommodate your specific cargo. We handle all aspects of FCL shipping, from booking and documentation to loading and unloading. Our experienced team ensures that your container is properly secured and that your cargo is protected throughout its journey.

Less than Container Load (LCL) Shipping

If you don't have enough cargo to fill an entire container, LCL shipping is a cost-effective solution. With LCL, your cargo is consolidated with other shipments to fill a container, allowing you to share the cost of shipping. iMarina has extensive experience in LCL shipping, and we've developed efficient processes to minimize handling and ensure timely delivery. We carefully select our consolidation partners to ensure the safety and security of your cargo.

Break Bulk Shipping

For oversized or non-containerizable cargo, break bulk shipping is the way to go. This method involves loading cargo directly onto the vessel, without the use of containers. iMarina has the expertise and equipment to handle a wide range of break bulk cargo, from heavy machinery to construction materials. Our team works closely with you to develop a customized loading and unloading plan that ensures the safety and stability of your cargo.

Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Shipping

RoRo shipping is specifically designed for vehicles and other wheeled cargo. With RoRo, vehicles are driven onto and off of the vessel, eliminating the need for lifting or craning. iMarina offers RoRo services for a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and construction equipment. Our RoRo vessels are equipped with specialized ramps and tie-down systems to ensure the safe and secure transport of your vehicles.

Project Cargo Shipping

For complex and high-value projects, project cargo shipping is essential. This involves the transportation of large, heavy, or critical equipment for infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects. iMarina has a dedicated project cargo team that specializes in handling these complex shipments. We work closely with you to develop a comprehensive transportation plan that takes into account all aspects of the project, from initial planning to final delivery. Our project cargo team has the expertise and resources to handle even the most challenging shipments.
