At KMC Services, we specialize in sea freight – including imports, exports, and cross-trade. We handle both full container loads and less-than-container loads, managing the entire process from cargo pickup to delivery at the specified address. Thanks to our partnerships with reputable shipping lines and a global network of licensed agents, we handle port-to-port and door-to-door shipments worldwide.

FCL Sea Freight – Full Container Load
FCL (Full Container Load) ocean freight involves a full container dedicated to a single customer. This means faster transit times, greater control over the cargo, and a dedicated schedule. It is best suited for larger volumes of goods.
LCL Sea Freight – Flexible and Tailored to Your Needs
LCL (Less than Container Load), or less-than-container-load shipping, is an option where the customer pays only for the space they occupy in the container, without having to wait for the container to fill up.
We select FCL and LCL ocean freight options based on weight, volume, and the shipping schedule. If a customer’s needs change from month to month, we are, of course, able to adapt accordingly.
Door-to-door sea freight – one partner, the entire supply chain
We organize sea freight using a full door‑to‑door model – from pickup at the shipper’s location, through customs clearance, loading onto the vessel, and transport to the destination port, all the way to delivery at the customer’s warehouse or facility. One point of contact, one point of responsibility, one point of escalation.
In our door-to-door service, we offer:
- industrial and machinery goods,
- food and agricultural products,
- goods requiring refrigeration (reefer),
- consumer goods, e-commerce,
- other cargo – upon request.
Cross-trade – shipments between third countries
Cross-trade refers to the international transport of goods between two countries, bypassing the country where the transport company is registered.
