Air Freight Services

deugro operates air freight consolidation hubs at strategic locations
around the globe where items are expedited and sent out and our IATA-trained experts control documentation.

Our Products and Services

We offer a wide range of air freight products to find the ideal combination of delivery times, routing, commodity handling and freight pricing for
each client.

Economy

Our economy service ensures maximum cost savings through consolidation, suitable for price-sensitive commodities with a longer transit time, average seven days door-to-door.

Speed

When time is of the essence, deugro also has the right solution. We find the most direct flight routes and schedule the earliest possible departures to reduce transit times, relying on Cargo 2000 (C2K) member airlines.

Premium

We also provide premium service to meet critical deadlines, with guaranteed fastest transit time, including express service products, aircraft chartering and on-board courier/hand-carry solutions.

Ocean Freight Services

deugro provides a variety of ocean freight services to any destination in the world. We have technical and commercial expertise, and treat each project individually with a client-centric approach. Our services include:

Less Than Container Loads (LCLs)

When shippers do not have enough cargo to fill an entire 20-foot or 40-foot container, we recommend Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipping. LCL refers to consolidated shipments of loose cargo that are typically boxed, palletized or crated.

This shipping option is typically cheaper due to the cost of the full container being shared between multiple shippers. Despite sharing a container with other shippers, LCL still allows for visibility and control over your cargo.

We offer reliable and cost-effective LCL shipping anywhere in the world, with the service delivered by our professional team.

Full Container Loads (FCLs)

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is the most efficient and cost-effective container shipping method. FCL involves one shipper and one consignee—meaning you do not share space in the container with other shippers.

In order to simplify the process and reduce risk, many shippers choose to ship with FCLs while not actually filling the container to capacity.

You benefit from reliable and cost-effective FCL shipping anywhere in the world thanks to the service delivered by our team of professionals.

Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) cargo

The Roll-On/Roll-Off method of shipping is suitable for almost anything that has wheels. This includes:

Passenger vehicles
Trucks and other heavy goods vehicles
Vans
Construction equipment or vehicles
Mining equipment on wheels
Equipment, including heavy equipment
Recreational vehicles
Trailers
Railroad carriages
Specialist vehicles
Boats, including yachts
Mobile homes, caravans and RVs

We develop a tailored solution for your needs to ensure your cargo gets to its destination safely and on time.

You benefit from reliable and cost-effective RO/RO shipping anywhere in the world thanks to the service delivered by our professional team.

Full/Part chartering for breakbulk, heavy lift and/or over-dimensional cargo

Breakbulk shipping refers to cargo that must be loaded onto a vessel individually, rather than in a shipping container. Due to its large size or weight, breakbulk cargo normally does not fit into a standard container.

We take care of your breakbulk shipment, including heavy machinery, large equipment, infrastructure building supplies, granite blocks, rolling stock, oil well supplies, and other various types of project cargo.

Our skilled operations team takes your cargo door-to-door, accounting for any special needs you may have.

Breakbulk and Heavy Lift Chartering Services
