Container logistics, coordinated end to end

Whether you need a full container or shared space, IMS coordinates the ocean freight and the practical steps around it. We arrange inland pickup through trusted third-party carriers, prepare cargo at origin, and work with our destination agents when local handling is required.

FCL Shipments

For cargo that fills or needs its own container, we coordinate the booking, pickup, port delivery and documentation for a smooth full-container shipment.

LCL Shipments

For smaller consignments, we coordinate shared-container space so your cargo can move efficiently without waiting to fill a whole container.

Precarriage / Inland Transport

Precarriage is the inland journey before the vessel sails. We arrange pickup and trucking from your location to the port or terminal through trusted third-party carriers.

Stuffing, Stripping & Delivery Support

Our team handles container stuffing and stripping at origin. Where needed, destination agents can provide local handling and delivery support at the receiving end.
