LESS THAN CONTAINER LOAD MELBOURNE SEA FREIGHT FORWARDING (LCL) :
Consolidated Shipping Services (LCL, shipping) and Full Container Shipping Services (FCL shipping) are weekly international sea freight services offered by renowned sea freight company CargoMaster, from and to Melbourne and regional Vic, Australia. In Melbourne sea freight is consolidated in or around West Swanson , at a security warehouse (accepting cargo between 0800hours and 1500 hours weekdays). CargoMaster clients are able to deliver their packed and labelled consignment direct to the packing facility or CargoMaster can collect your shipment from anywhere around Melbourne. For heavier shipments CargoMaster will dispatch what’s called a “tail lift truck” equipped with a pallet trolley to help with the job!.
The good people packing the containers in are security cleared personnel. Packing containers daily with training, means they know how to handle your goods carefully and safely. If you intend to lodge your shipment directly to the warehouse, you will need to contact CargoMaster first, to get a booking number and documentation. Please note you cannot lodge cargo in Adelaide unless you have been issued with a booking number from CargoMaster and have completed all the required documentation. Once lodged your cargo will be palletised (or loaded directly) and loaded into the shipping container.
Comprehensive marine transit insurance is available to clients who use CargoMaster LCL shipping services. Please note, again you will need to book and organize with CargoMaster first. Certain additional documentation may be required before you can lock in your insurance cover. As stated on our home page CargoMaster has been fortunate enough not to have had an insurance claim due to damage or lost cargo in over 20 years.! CargoMaster will always try to make the shipping experience as stress free and as simple for clients as possible. Because of packing and unpacking/transshipments LCL sea freight will take longer than FCL in 95% of cases

Clients using CargoMasters popular Self Pack International Shipping Containers will pack belongings plus their motor vehicle in a 40ft container..
