Ocean Freight
Ocean Freight
Global shipping coordinated through trusted forwarding partners — backed by Fortus accountability on the ground.
Full Container Load (FCL)
Exclusive use of a shipping container for your cargo. Built for large volumes — maximum security, reduced handling, faster transit.
How we handle ocean freight: Fortus Group's core strength is North American ground transport. For international ocean freight, we partner with established global forwarders to extend your supply chain to ports worldwide — while keeping you working with one Fortus team, one invoice, and one point of accountability. Our role: we coordinate the full North American side of the move — drayage, documentation, and customs handling — and manage the handoff to ocean partners so nothing falls through the cracks.
Full Container Load (FCL)
Full Container Load means your cargo occupies the entire container from origin to destination — no consolidation, no mixing with other shippers' freight, no deconsolidation delays at destination ports. For shipments that can fill a 20ft or 40ft container, FCL delivers the most cost-effective per-unit rate in international shipping, plus the fastest ocean transit times and lowest risk of damage.
- Exclusive Use: Your cargo is the only cargo in the container — no consolidation, no mixing, no delays
- Direct Routing: Container ships directly from origin port to destination port with no intermediate deconsolidation
- Reduced Risk: Less handling means minimal chance of damage or loss in transit
- Cost-Effective: Lower cost per unit compared to LCL when you have full container volumes
Our FCL network provides access to major ports across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Standard dry containers, refrigerated (reefer), open-top, and flat rack equipment are all available depending on your cargo type. On the North American side, we handle drayage, transloading, and customs coordination directly — so the move arrives at your door, not just a port.
Ideal for: Large-volume shipments, retail merchandise, manufacturing components, and any international freight requiring dedicated container space. We offer door-to-door FCL coordination with customs handling and real-time tracking through our North American operations team.
