APL Logistics Ocean Services
Balance transit time and cost with carrier-neutral ocean services
APL Logistics offers tiered FCL and LCL services through multiple carriers. Your delivery requirements guide our recommendations, with inland transportation available to extend your ocean service.
Your requirements guide carrier selection
As a neutral non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC), APL Logistics recommends routing through multiple carriers and alliances. We consider transit reliability and shipment risk in selecting a service for your cargo.
Ocean Standard
Ocean Standard supports FCL and LCL. Our carrier network gives your team routing alternatives for its ocean shipments.
Ocean Premium
Ocean Premium provides priority handling for time-sensitive FCL shipments to U.S. and Canadian ports and IPI destinations.
*Ocean Premium bookings are made at least two weeks before departure.
OceanGuaranteed™
OceanGuaranteed™ provides day-definite, port-to-door delivery for time-sensitive FCL and LCL shipments.
Include inland transportation in your ocean plan
APL Logistics integrates ocean services with inland transportation. Include your collection or delivery location in the request so we can recommend the ocean service and connecting inland leg together.
Origin-based teams manage shipment exceptions, and a dedicated service representative provides updates.
Shipment-level visibility is included as standard, with estimated and actual dates for vessel arrival and delivery to the consignee. Exception alerts identify shipments needing attention.
