FCL Shipping to & from UAE
Full Container Load via Jebel Ali — Maximum Security, Best Per-CBM Value
Book dedicated ocean freight containers from Jebel Ali — the world’s 9th busiest container port. Direct loading from your UAE facility or supplier.
What is FCL Shipping?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you rent an entire shipping container exclusively for your cargo — no sharing with other shippers. Your goods are loaded in the UAE (or at origin) and sealed until they arrive at the destination port.
FCL is more secure, often faster, and cheaper per CBM for shipments over approximately 15–20 CBM. Jebel Ali Port offers daily container departures to all major global destinations via DP World terminals.

20' Standard Container
Capacity: ~25 CBM / ~28,000 kg | Perfect for: 1–2 rooms of goods, small machinery, 600–800 cartons of apparel
40' Standard Container
Capacity: ~56 CBM / ~26,500 kg | Perfect for: Full household moves, medium factory orders, bulk commodity shipments
40' High Cube Container
Capacity: ~67 CBM / ~26,000 kg | Perfect for: Large or tall cargo, furniture, lightweight bulky goods, e-commerce pallets
When FCL is the Right Choice
Over 15 CBM of Cargo
When your shipment takes up most of a container, FCL's per-CBM cost beats LCL significantly.
Maximum Cargo Security
Only your goods in the container — no third-party handling, no repacking, lower damage risk.
Faster Transit Times
Fewer handling touchpoints at origin and destination means faster clearance and delivery.
Direct Factory Loading
We can load containers directly at your supplier's factory or our Jebel Ali warehouse.
