Voltim Global provides FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) ocean freight services on all major port routes worldwide. Building on our international operations since 2014 and an extensive global agent network, we move your cargo with competitive rates, reliable sailing schedules and dependable transit times.

FCL and LCL Solutions

For full-container shipments we offer 20' / 40' standard, 40' High Cube, reefer (refrigerated), open-top, flat-rack and special-equipment containers. For less-than-container loads, consolidation services planned according to demand provide a flexible and economical solution. Vehicles and machinery move via RoRo, while oversized pieces ship as Break Bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between FCL and LCL sea freight, and which should I choose?
FCL (Full Container Load) assigns an entire container to a single shipper, while LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidates cargo from multiple shippers in one container. FCL suits volumes large enough to fill a container; for smaller shipments, LCL consolidation is the more economical and flexible option. Voltim Global arranges both models on major port routes worldwide through its agent network.
Which routes and regions does Voltim's sea freight service cover?
Voltim Global arranges sailings on Europe, Far East, Americas, Africa and Middle East routes with partner carriers, planned according to demand. Offices in Mersin, Istanbul, Moscow and Budapest provide single-point coordination across the Turkey–Europe–CIS corridor, while a global agent network built since 2014 enables FCL and LCL shipments on all major port routes worldwide.
How are sea freight rates determined?
Sea freight rates are determined by the shipping mode (FCL or LCL), the container type and size (20'/40' standard, 40' High Cube, reefer, open top, flat rack), the route and port pair, and the cargo volume. Thanks to its global agent network, Voltim Global offers competitive rates; for a current, shipment-specific price, request a quote via the contact page.
Can refrigerated goods, vehicles or oversized cargo be shipped by sea?
Yes. Refrigerated cargo moves in reefer containers as part of cold chain logistics, while open-top and flat-rack containers handle non-standard dimensions. Vehicles and machinery are shipped via RoRo services, and oversized pieces travel as Break Bulk. For out-of-gauge (OOG) loads and special projects, sea freight integrates with Voltim's project cargo service.
Can additional services such as customs clearance, cargo insurance and shipment tracking be included with sea freight?
Yes. Sea freight can be combined with customs clearance via our contracted customs brokers and with marine cargo insurance arranged through partner insurers, and documentation is managed in compliance with Incoterms 2020. Throughout the operation your shipment is followed daily and you receive daily status reports, while port handling, transhipment and crossover operations are also within scope. Door-to-door solutions integrated with road transport are available as well.
