Ocean services

Choose the ocean service around the cargo and the complete route.

End-to-end coordination

The ocean leg is only one part of the shipment.

A useful ocean plan accounts for the commercial term, cargo details, origin handling, sailing inputs, transport documents, destination release, and inland delivery. CVL keeps those parties and milestones connected without blurring customs or regulatory responsibilities.

  • FCL and LCL routing aligned to cargo volume and handling needs
  • Import and export milestones organized around actual cutoffs
  • Drayage and inland transportation included when requested

Ocean freight process

Build the shipment backward from the required delivery.

CVL defines the cargo, scope, parties, deadlines, and handoffs before the booking becomes the operating plan.

  1. 01

    Define the shipment

    Confirm the Incoterm, origin, destination, cargo-ready date, commodity, packages, dimensions, weight, and special handling.

  2. 02

    Select the service

    Evaluate FCL or LCL fit, routing inputs, equipment, origin and destination services, and requested inland scope.

  3. 03

    Align the booking

    Coordinate carrier details, documents, cargo and terminal cutoffs, shipment contacts, and transport instructions.

  4. 04

    Manage the handoffs

    Connect origin, ocean, customs-provider, terminal or CFS, drayage, and final-delivery milestones.

Ocean freight FAQ

Answers for the decisions that come before booking.

The final route, schedule, charges, and equipment remain shipment-specific and are confirmed in the quote and booking details.

Is Center Valley Logistics a licensed NVOCC?

Yes. Center Valley Logistics Inc. is listed by the Federal Maritime Commission as an NVOCC under Organization No. 033142 and NVOCC License No. 033142N.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL ocean freight?

FCL uses a container for one shipper's cargo, while LCL consolidates freight from multiple shippers through container freight stations. The right fit depends on cargo volume, dimensions, timing, handling tolerance, and total landed cost.

Can CVL coordinate inland transportation with an ocean shipment?

Yes. CVL can coordinate drayage and inland transportation as part of the shipment plan when the origin, port, terminal, equipment, timing, and delivery requirements are defined.

Does CVL perform customs entry or clearance?

Customs entry and clearance must be handled by the shipper's licensed customs provider. CVL coordinates transportation timing and document handoffs with the parties identified for the shipment.
