Overview

The cheapest cost-per-pound for anything that isn’t in a hurry.

Ocean is the backbone of global trade — the lowest cost per unit for moving volume across an ocean, the trade-off being transit time measured in weeks rather than days. Qeep books full-container-load (FCL) for shippers with enough volume to fill a box, and less-than-container-load (LCL) consolidations for smaller shipments that share a container. We work through vetted NVOCC and carrier partners for competitive rates and reliable space, and wrap the ocean leg in origin pickup, export and import customs, port drayage and final-mile delivery — so you get one quote, one file and one point of contact from the factory door to yours.

Every major trade lane — one file from booking to POD.

How it works

From quote to POD, step by step.

1

Booking & space

We confirm equipment, sailing schedule and rate, secure space with the carrier, and issue a booking with cut-off dates so origin can plan loading.

2

Origin & export

Pickup, consolidation (for LCL), container stuffing, export customs and documentation — including the bill of lading and any certificates the cargo requires.

3

Ocean transit

Vessel sails with proactive milestone tracking — gate-in, loaded on board, departure, transshipment and arrival — pushed to you so there are no silent gaps.

4

Arrival, customs & delivery

Import customs clearance (CARM-ready for Canada), terminal release, drayage off the dock and final-mile delivery, with the POD closing the file.

Pricing

What drives the rate?

Transparent inputs, not mystery margins. Here’s exactly what goes into a ocean freight quote.

FCL vs LCL
FCL is a flat per-container rate; LCL is priced by weight-or-volume, so once you fill ~10-13 CBM, FCL is usually cheaper.
Lane & season
Rates move with capacity, fuel (BAF) and peak season (Aug-Oct). We hold contract and spot options.
Door-to-door scope
Origin pickup, customs, drayage and final mile each add cost — but consolidating them with us beats stitching vendors together.
Demurrage & detention
Free time at the port is limited; we coordinate fast drayage and chassis to avoid per-diem charges.
Frequently asked

Ocean Freight questions, answered.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (full container load) means you book an entire container at a flat rate — best when you can fill most of a box. LCL (less than container load) consolidates your cargo with other shippers’ freight in a shared container, priced by the greater of weight or volume. We quote both so you only pay for the space you need.
How long does ocean transit take?
It depends on the lane. Trans-Pacific (Asia to North America West Coast) is roughly 14-20 days port-to-port; Asia to East Coast via Panama is ~28-35 days; Trans-Atlantic is ~10-16 days. Door-to-door adds origin and destination handling on both ends.
Do you handle customs clearance?
Yes. We coordinate export clearance at origin and import clearance at destination — CARM-ready for Canada and CBP entry for the US — and can act through our licensed customs-broker partners so it’s one file, not three vendors.
Can you arrange drayage and final-mile delivery?
Yes — that’s the door-to-door model. We pull the container off the dock with our drayage network and deliver to your facility (or transload to truck/rail for inland points) so the ocean booking, customs and delivery all settle on one invoice.
Do you ship reefer and oversized ocean cargo?
Yes. Refrigerated 40′ HC containers for cold-chain cargo, and open-top or flat-rack equipment for out-of-gauge and oversized loads. Tell us the dimensions, weight and temperature requirement and we’ll spec the right equipment.
