Sea Freight from China to Algeria

If time is not an issue, sea freight is an ideal solution to save cost when shipping from China to Algeria. Sea freight is the least expensive yet most popular mode when it comes to international transportation, not only because of its low price, but also the capacity to carry large and bulk shipments. Besides, with sea freight, we are able to transport almost all kinds of goods, even those dangerous goods, rejected by railway and airlines. Sea freight is economically and environmentally superior to other forms for cargo shipping services, especially for goods in bulk or equipment of large size, over long distance. 

FCL (Full container load): shipping a container filled with goods exclusively for one client from China to Algeria. Generally, we offer FCL shipping service to Algeria with 20ft container and 40ft container (20GP, 40GP and 40HQ). FCL is more cost efficient.
LCL (Less than container load): If your cargo can’t fill an entire container, our consolidation (LCL shipping) service from China to Algeria is always available, i.e. sharing a container with other clients who have cargo to the same destination, at the same time. Naturally, due to extra work (consolidation, de-consolidation, warehousing, paperwork, etc.), the final cost on each unit is higher than FCL, and shipping takes longer. LCL is a good choice for small business to start with.

Additionally, we offer below sea freight solutions from China to Algeria, as complement to regular FCL and LCL shipments. 
Flat rack and open top containers: for OOG (out-of-gauge) cargo, oversized & heavy cargo shipping.
Reefer containers: for temperature-sensitive products
Breakbulk: for large and bulk shipment
RO-RO: for vehicles and wheeled cargo
