Container Management: FCL and LCL Transportation

In container transport processes, we determine the most efficient loading model based on your cargo volume. The models we offer in the table below help you optimize the balance between cost and volume.

Service Type	Definition	Advantage
FCL Transport	Full Container Load	Maximum security and fast handling.
LCL Transport	Less than Container Load (Partial)	Low freight cost for small shipments.

FCL transport is the most secure method in cases where the cargo belongs to a single sender. The container is sealed from the moment it is closed and opened at the destination. This model minimizes the risk of damage while increasing operational speed. We particularly prefer it for high-volume raw material and finished product shipments.

LCL transport, on the other hand, brings together the goods of different senders for cargo that does not fully fill a container. With this method, our clients only pay freight for the space they use. As Filiz Customs Brokerage & Logistics, we eliminate the margin for error by meticulously managing the consolidation and separation of LCL cargo.

Safe Transport of Dangerous and ADR Class Cargo

In the transfer of chemical and flammable products by sea, we act in full compliance with international IMDG rules. Within the scope of dangerous goods transport, we determine suitable container types and on-board loading positions according to the cargo classes. We protect environmental risks and vessel safety at the highest level.

The measures we take can be summarized as follows:

• Correct classification and labeling audit according to the cargo's MSDS forms.

• Packaging control in compliance with ADR standards and maritime regulations.

• Management of dangerous goods declaration processes with the ship agent and port operator.

• Advance preparation of leakage and emergency response protocols.

With our ADR transport experience, we professionally manage risks in land and sea integration. Our specially trained personnel apply all occupational safety rules during the handling of cargo containing dangerous substances. Filiz Customs completes the most challenging chemical shipments safely and within the legal framework.

Cold Chain Sea Freight Solutions

In the transport of perishable products such as food and pharmaceuticals, we utilize state-of-the-art reefer (refrigerated) containers. In our cold chain maritime operations, we keep the temperature values required by the products constant throughout the journey. We preserve the shelf life of products by digitally monitoring humidity and ventilation settings.

We track every moment, from the loading of containers onto the ship to the electrical connections at the port area. By taking proactive measures against temperature fluctuations, we prevent the breaking of the cold chain. Filiz Customs Brokerage & Logistics secures the freshness and chemical structure of your sensitive cargo on global routes.

Project and Heavy Lift Sea Freight

We produce heavy lift sea freight solutions for massive industrial equipment that does not fit into standard containers. We transport factory lines, transformers, and heavy machinery using Flat Rack, Open Top, or Break Bulk vessels. Within the scope of project transport, we prepare special engineering plans for loading and discharge processes.

In these operations, the cargo's center of gravity and lashing techniques are of vital importance. Our technical team personally supervises the processes of safely taking the load onto the ship and unloading it at the destination port. Filiz Customs successfully shoulders the logistics burden of heavy-duty tasks in your most complex projects.

Door-to-Door Sea Shipments

With our door-to-door sea freight service, we take the entire complexity of logistics processes off our clients' shoulders. We collect the cargo from the production facility, perform the port transfer, carry out the sea freight, and deliver it to the address after customs clearance in the destination country. We provide a transparent flow of information as the single point of contact throughout the process.

In this integrated model, synchronization between feeder transport and main transport lowers costs. This service, combined with our customs expertise, maximizes operational efficiency in foreign trade. With the assurance of Filiz Customs, we effortlessly deliver your cargo from one end of the world to your warehouse at the other end.

Insured Sea Freight and Damage Management

We provide full-scope protection against the natural risks of sea voyages within the scope of insured sea freight. We zero your financial risks by securing the value of the commodity beyond legal limits.

Our damage management process proceeds as follows:

• Immediate determination of damage at the port or address.
