BECKER LINES / INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS

International sea freight

We coordinate international sea freight for commercial goods, personal effects and vehicles in containers. Collection in Spain or Europe is connected with the departure port and agreed delivery through FCL or LCL services.

01

FCL, LCL or a vehicle in a container

FCL reserves a container for one shipment; LCL shares space with compatible cargo. Vehicles need a dedicated loading and securing plan. The choice depends on cargo characteristics, handling and total cost, not volume alone.

02

Sea routes by region

Spanish and northern European ports provide options towards the Americas, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania. Connections may involve transshipment. We assess inland transport and arrival services alongside the shipping route.

03

Define the scope before sailing

Provide cargo details, package count, dimensions and weight. The quotation identifies included collection, freight, port handling and delivery. Special cargo needs acceptance checks before space is booked; compare offers with the same service scope.

Planning ranges based on market references and corridor estimates, not confirmed rates or door-to-door prices unless expressly stated. Direction, ports, dates and dimensions affect the amount. The quotation specifies taxes, surcharges, minimums and included charges. Connections or road legs may be required; a direct departure is not implied.

Your questions answered

Frequently asked questions

How do FCL and LCL differ?

FCL reserves a container for one shipment. LCL shares space with compatible consignments and involves consolidation and deconsolidation.

Can a car be shipped in a container?

Yes, where vehicle dimensions, loading equipment and acceptance conditions permit. A specific securing plan is required.

Why does the Incoterm matter?

The agreed trading term and named place define responsibilities for transport stages and costs. Share them when requesting a comparable freight quotation.

Does the quoted freight include every charge?

Not necessarily. Collection, port handling, documentation, customs, delivery and taxes must be identified separately so the full service scope is clear.

Which departure port should I use?

The choice depends on collection location and available connections. We compare Spanish and other European ports with inland transport and destination arrangements.

Can non-stackable cargo be shipped?

It can be assessed, but extra space may increase the price. Declare fragility, projections and stacking restrictions before requesting a quotation.

Are all sea routes direct?

No. Some require transshipment or connecting road transport. The itinerary and expected stages are confirmed for the specific booking.

What happens after the vessel arrives?

Cargo must be released and available before collection. Documentation and inland transport should be coordinated with terminal deadlines and any storage-free period.
