What FCL is
The container is used exclusively for your cargo. You pay a fixed rate regardless of how full it is, and your shipment departs immediately after loading, without waiting for other shippers.

FCL containershipping
Your container is still at sea, and we’ve already requested the unloading invoice — so it’s ready for release without unnecessary delays
About the service
FCL shipping:how it works
We handle both directions
- Import — from the vessel’s arrival at the port to delivery of your cargo in Ukraine
- Export — from vessel booking and cargo pickup in Ukraine to delivery of the container at its destination abroad
The coordination is ours
The greatest delays at the port come from coordination between the shipping line, the terminal, the warehouse and customs. We handle all of those communications, so you do not have to follow up on every step yourself.

Real cases
Where others throw up their hands, we already have a solution
Maersk lineCarrier restriction
Circumstances:
Third-party pickup prohibited
The container arrived with Maersk, which does not allow collection by third-party transport. We arranged transshipment at a warehouse and forwarded the cargo by rail.
Result:Delivered without breaching the line’s conditions
GdyniaGdańsk
Circumstances:
Discharged at the wrong port
The container was discharged in Gdynia while the transshipment warehouse was in Gdańsk. We planned the additional leg and made sure the empty container went back to Gdynia.

Testimonials
What our clients say
Results first
“We really like the communication and the approach. The team reacts fast, keeps us posted at every stage and genuinely helps, even when things get complicated. You can feel the involvement and the control.”
“Transparency is the most valuable part. We see every stage of the cargo movement, and complex customs issues are solved without our involvement.”
“The team is always reachable and controls every stage of the shipment. Deadlines hold even on difficult routes.”
“We moved to Consolline after two failures with our previous forwarder. A year in — not a single hold-up at the border.”
“They priced the route within an hour and showed us straight away where we were overpaying on consolidation. It shows in the numbers.”

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
We receive the unloading invoice 2–3 days before the vessel arrives and arrange payment immediately. In most cases, the shipping line issues the container release on the next business day after payment.
Yes, for most shipping lines. The main exception is Maersk, which only allows release through transshipment, rail, or its own transport services.
Additional charges may apply for port storage or late return of the empty container. We plan inland transportation before the vessel arrives to help prevent these costs.
Yes. We regularly manage oversized and heavy cargo shipments and develop an individual transportation plan based on your cargo’s dimensions and destination.
