Ocean Freight
Cargo Tours International provides ocean freight forwarding services for importers and exporters moving full-container, less-than-container, and specialized cargo through global trade lanes. As a licensed freight forwarder and NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier – OTI License #015762NF) since 1998, we help clients coordinate ocean transportation, documentation, customs clearance, and delivery with responsive, hands-on support.
Ocean Freight Solutions for Global Shipments
Ocean freight requires more than booking space on a vessel. It requires accurate documentation, carrier coordination, export and import compliance, container planning, schedule management, and clear communication throughout the shipment lifecycle.
Cargo Tours supports a wide range of ocean freight needs, including full-container loads, less-than-container loads, import shipments, export shipments, project cargo, regulated commodities, and shipments requiring coordination with customs brokerage or final delivery.
Whether your cargo is routine, time-sensitive, oversized, or documentation-heavy, our team helps manage the details so your shipment keeps moving.
Our Ocean Freight Services Include
Full-Container Load — FCL
Coordination of full-container ocean shipments for clients moving larger volumes of cargo through international trade lanes.
Less-Than-Container Load — LCL
Consolidated ocean freight solutions for shipments that do not require a full container, helping clients move smaller volumes efficiently.
Import & Export Coordination
Support for ocean imports and exports, including carrier coordination, documentation review, sailing schedules, arrival notices, and communication with the parties involved in the shipment.
NVOCC Services
As a licensed NVOCC, Cargo Tours can support clients with ocean transportation arrangements, documentation, and coordination across global shipping networks.
Customs Clearance Coordination
Cargo Tours can coordinate ocean freight with customs brokerage services to help simplify the import process and reduce avoidable delays caused by incomplete or inconsistent documentation.
Final Delivery & Inland Transportation
Coordination with truckers, warehouses, and delivery partners to support container pickup, devanning, storage, distribution, or final delivery.
Documentation, Compliance & Communication
Ocean freight shipments depend on accurate documentation and timely communication. Cargo Tours helps clients coordinate the documents and shipment details needed for international ocean transportation, including bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, arrival notices, and other shipment-specific requirements.
Our team also helps clients identify potential documentation or compliance issues early, especially when shipments involve regulated commodities, customs clearance, project cargo, or specialized handling needs.
Throughout the process, Cargo Tours prioritizes clear communication and shipment visibility, providing status updates so clients understand where their cargo is and what steps are needed next.
Integrated Ocean Freight, Customs & Logistics Support
Cargo Tours’ ocean freight services are supported by our broader logistics capabilities. Our freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, distribution, and operations teams work together to help clients manage the full movement of cargo from origin to final destination.
For shipments moving through Miami, our warehouse capabilities can support receiving, handling, storage, and distribution needs. For shipments moving through other ports or trade lanes, we work with qualified partners through our global trade networks to help ensure the right resources are involved.
