FAQ
Ocean Freight — common questions
What is the difference between FCL and LCL ocean freight?
FCL (Full Container Load) means your cargo fills an entire container — best for larger volumes and lower per-unit cost. LCL (Less than Container Load) shares container space with other shippers — best for smaller shipments where a full container is not justified.
Which Indian ports does CargoFide ship from?
Primarily Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Mumbai Port for the west coast, plus Mundra, Pipavav, and Chennai depending on origin, destination, and rates. Inland cargo is moved via ICDs and the Nashik–JNPT corridor.
How long does ocean freight from India take?
Transit time depends on the destination — roughly 18–25 days India to US East Coast, 5–9 days India to UAE, and 20–30 days India to Europe, excluding customs and inland legs.
