Sea Freight — FCL / LCL / Groupage: The Smart Way to Ship from China to Africa
When it comes to international logistics, sea freight remains one of the most cost-effective and reliable ways to move goods across continents. At Owcargo, we make shipping from China to Africa simple, secure, and affordable — offering flexible freight options like FCL, LCL, and Groupage to fit every shipment size and budget.
What Is Sea Freight?
Sea freight (or ocean freight) is the transportation of goods in containers by sea. It’s ideal for large, heavy, or non-urgent shipments, giving you the advantage of affordable pricing, massive capacity, and worldwide reach.
1. FCL — Full Container Load
If your shipment fills an entire container, FCL (Full Container Load) is your best option.
It’s fast, secure, and cost-effective for bulk goods.
Advantages of FCL:
- Exclusive container use
- Lower handling risk
- Faster delivery and fewer delays
- Best suited for large or fragile shipments
FCL ensures maximum safety and privacy — perfect for business imports or full-scale commercial orders.
2. LCL — Less than Container Load
For smaller shipments, LCL (Less than Container Load) lets you share container space with others.
It’s flexible and affordable, ideal for small businesses and individuals.
Advantages of LCL:
- Pay only for the space you use
- Great for low-volume imports
- Regular sailing schedules
- Reliable and secure consolidation service
LCL allows you to ship anytime, without waiting to fill a full container.
3. Groupage — Shared Shipping Made Simple
Groupage combines smaller shipments from multiple customers heading to similar destinations.
At Owcargo, we manage the grouping, documentation, and customs clearance, ensuring smooth and efficient delivery.
Advantages of Groupage:
- Reduced shipping cost
- Efficient and eco-friendly
- Simplified process managed by Owcargo
- Perfect for SMEs and startups
Groupage is a smart, cost-saving option for importers shipping smaller loads.
