Substantial Freight Cost Reduction for Europe & North America Through Ocean Consolidation

Project Overview

This client, who exports products to the European and North American markets, was seeing profits squeezed by soaring ocean freight costs. Their volume was insufficient for FCL (full container load), while LCL (less than container load) offered inconsistent terms from carrier to carrier, leaving them unable to make the optimal choice.

The Client's Challenges

• Insufficient volume for FCL, forcing them to bear the cost of empty space
• LCL freight rates and terms varied widely by carrier
• Freight rates to Europe and North America had risen sharply year over year
• Heavy burden of handling customs documentation

Our Proposal & Response

Meito Ocean Consolidation × LCL Optimization

Leveraging Meito's consolidation network, we built a framework that combines cargo from multiple shippers into a single container bound for Europe and North America. This made it possible to achieve "LCL volumes at FCL-level unit rates"—something the client could never have accomplished on their own—while we also handled all customs documentation on their behalf.

• Consolidation across multiple shippers brings LCL down to FCL unit rates
• Full coverage of major ports in Europe and North America
• Complete handling of customs documentation on your behalf
• Scheduled regular sailings enable planned, predictable shipping
