Sea Freight from China to Morocco

If you have limited budget, sea freight is the most cost-efficient way to have your cargo shipped from China to Morocco. Sea freight is popular, not only because it’s the least expensive way of shipping, but it’s capable of transporting large and bulk shipments, and accepts almost all kinds of cargo, even those classified as dangerous goods. Over 90% of the total shipments are carried by sea shipping from China to Morocco, as well as to elsewhere of the world. When you decide cost is more important than speed, then sea freight is the right way to go.

FCL (Full container load): shipping a container filled with goods exclusively for one client from China to Morocco. Generally, we offer FCL shipping service to Morocco 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 Morocco 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.

Apart from regular FCL and LCL shipments, we are offering below sea freight shipping services from China to Morocco as complement.
