Ocean Freight from Jebel Ali
Container and breakbulk shipping out of Jebel Ali, with the customs entry and the road legs at both ends handled by the same company.
The ocean leg is the part of a sea shipment nobody can speed up. What decides whether a container arrives on time is everything around it - whether the cargo was ready, whether the paperwork was filed before the vessel berthed, and whether there was a truck waiting at the other end. Cannata books the freight and also owns the warehouses, the customs desk and the trucks either side of it. Ocean shipments are usually undone by demurrage rather than by the sailing; demurrage versus detention at Jebel Ali explains the difference.
A box to yourself, sealed at origin and opened at destination. See full container load.
Cargo that does not fill a box travels grouped with others. See LCL and groupage.
Steel, plant and project pieces shipped loose or on flat racks - see breakbulk and project cargo.
Refrigerated containers for goods with a range to hold. See reefer containers.
Cars, trucks and plant shipped on roll-on roll-off services - see RO-RO shipping.
Items needing lifting, route surveys and permits rather than a container booking. See oversized and heavy cargo handling.
Inbound and outbound are different problems - one races terminal charges, the other a vessel cut-off. See import and export ocean freight.
Refrigerated containers run continuously for the length of a voyage, and the risk sits in the moments they are unplugged at either end. See reefer container shipping, which is usually booked with our refrigerated road legs.
Why Cannata
Anyone can book space on a vessel. The delays happen on the quay, at the customs desk and on the road, which is where having one company matters.
Space inside Jebel Ali Free Zone, so cargo comes off the quay instead of accruing demurrage while it waits.
Entries filed in-house and, where useful, before the vessel arrives.
Collection before departure and delivery after arrival on our own fleet, including onward into the GCC.
