alpha trans gives you tailored transport solutions for any consignment size. FCL (full container load) gives you exclusivity and maximum control over your goods. LCL (less than container load), by contrast, is perfect for smaller volumes and enables efficient transport without compromising on quality.
We use our own consolidated shipping services for regular or flexible transports, giving you short transit times and reliable planning. Even if you have a complex consignment or bulky goods, we can develop custom charter solutions that are precisely tailored to your needs.
Our door-to-door service bundles every step of the process, from collection, shipping and customs to final delivery. We also take care of all the formalities, whether drafting the export and import papers, making sure documentation is L/C compliant, or customs clearance in ATLAS, AES and NCTS.
In global trade, every detail counts and time is money. We take all customs clearance processes off your hands, from import and export to transit customs. Our experts deliver smooth processes, compliant documentation and absolute transparency.
Every order begins with an individual consultation. You tell us the route, volume, destination and required time frame. We then determine the right shipping companies, transit times and price structures. Next, you get a transparent quote with all the details.
After commissioning, we do all the organisation for you. This includes booking the containers, drafting the shipping documents, customs clearance and communication with everyone involved along the transport chain.
We keep you updated throughout the entire process, sending you status updates, tracking your consignment’s every move and informing your proactively.
Tip: Plan early to secure the best rates and capacities, especially at peak times.
Every consignment is different, but deserves the same care.
We provide personal advice, plan ahead and support your consignment all the way to its destination.
Our team of experts have been active in the world of international sea freight for many years. They know the ins and outs of port logistics, the details of route planning and the needs of shipping companies. It is this experience that makes the key difference, ensuring precise communication, smooth processes and reliable schedules.
For us, sea freight is not just transport, it is part of your value creation chain. That is why we make sure that every detail is right, from the container load to the final customs approval. This creates a partnership characterised by trust, transparency and reliability.
alpha trans offers more than just sea freight. You can call upon our expertise in air freight, sea-air transports and Eurasian rail freight, as well as our comprehensive logistics and customs services. We are the one-stop shop for your supply chain – coordinated, transparent and efficient.
With full container load (FCL), you get an entire container exclusively for your goods. In a less than container load (LCL), several customers share space in a container. This is a cost-effective way to ship smaller volumes without compromising on quality.
Generally, the transit time is between two to six weeks, depending on the route and destination. This can be affected by factors like customs, transhipments, port clearance and geopolitical events. We keep you constantly updated with the estimated transit time.
The carbon emissions of sea freight are around 30 times lower per tonne than those of air freight, making sea freight as green as it is efficient.
