Sea freight has had a significant impact on the world of cargo shipping since ancient times. Currently, most commercial transactions between different continents are conducted through sea freight. Considering Dubai as a global commercial hub in the Arabian Gulf and the Middle East, Al-Fares Shipping provides the best solutions for shipping various goods and materials across the sea. This is facilitated through ports like Jebel Ali in Dubai, Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah Port, in addition to numerous ports in the United Arab Emirates.

Al-Fares Shipping offers maximum flexibility in transportation and shipping while maintaining cost-effectiveness tailored to the customers' preferences, whether for full container loads (FCL), less than container loads (LCL), or bulk sea freight.

Al-Fares Shipping is a specialized company in sea freight services to and from most ports using international shipping lines. Sea freight involves various port and customs procedures, all of which we handle on behalf of our clients without burdening them with any additional responsibilities.

Sea Freight Systems:

Full Container Load (FCL):

This system is suitable for customers who want to ship large quantities of goods. In FCL shipping, all of the customer's cargo is loaded into a dedicated container exclusively for their shipments. This system is considered the best and fastest among other shipping systems.

Less than Container Load (LCL):

This system involves shipping the customer's goods in a portion of the container. The container includes shipments and goods from multiple customers, which helps reduce and distribute shipping costs. However, sometimes, the specific expenses associated with this type of shipping at the destination country can be relatively higher than full container load shipping.
