FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire container exclusively for your cargo — ideal when your shipment fills 50%+ of a container or when you need a faster, more secure option. LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidates your cargo with other shippers' goods into a shared container. LCL is cost-effective for smaller volumes (under 15 CBM) but typically has longer transit times due to consolidation and deconsolidation. We advise on the best option based on your cargo volume, urgency, and budget.

Typical transit times on the Gulf–India corridor: Dubai (Jebel Ali) to Nhava Sheva (Mumbai) is approximately 3–5 days FCL, 7–10 days LCL. From Doha to Chennai or Mundra it's 5–8 days FCL. These are port-to-port times — add 1–3 days for customs clearance at destination. We work with multiple carriers including MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, and regional feeders to give you the best schedule options.

Standard export documents include: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin (Qatar Chamber), Bill of Lading (B/L), Export Customs Declaration. For regulated commodities you may also need: Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for chemicals, Phytosanitary Certificate for food/agricultural goods, and end-user certificates for controlled items. Our team handles all documentation preparation and submission as part of our service.

Yes. We handle IMDG-classified dangerous goods across all sea freight modes. Our team is trained in DG classification, packing, labelling, and documentation (DG Declaration, MSDS, Special Stowage requirements). Note that some DG classes are restricted on certain trade lanes or vessels — we advise you upfront and find compliant routing options.

Air freight uses the higher of actual gross weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated as: (Length cm × Width cm × Height cm) / 6,000 = kg. For example, a box measuring 60×40×50 cm weighs 2 kg but has a volumetric weight of 20 kg — so you'd be charged for 20 kg. We always calculate both and quote based on the higher (chargeable) weight. Our team can advise on efficient packing to optimise your air freight costs.

Economy air freight (5–7 transit days): best for non-urgent shipments where cost matters. Standard express (2–3 days): balances speed and cost, uses regular scheduled airline belly capacity. Priority / Next Flight Out (NFO): 12–48 hours for critical shipments. Routes from Doha (DOH) and Dubai (DXB) have daily direct flights to most of Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and beyond. We can typically arrange next-day departures for most major destinations.

Absolutely. We are experienced in IATA CEIV Pharma-compliant cold chain logistics. We arrange passive (insulated shippers, gel packs) and active (Envirotainer, DoKaSch) temperature-controlled unit load devices (ULDs) for +2/+8°C, +15/+25°C, and frozen (-20°C) cargo. We work with GDPMD-compliant ground handlers and only use airlines with validated pharma lanes. All temperature logs are provided upon delivery.

Our road freight network covers all GCC countries: UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. We also extend to Jordan, Iraq, and Pakistan overland. For long-haul routes to Europe and Central Asia, we offer multimodal options combining road with sea or rail segments. We handle all transit visas, border permits, and customs clearances for cross-border moves.

Yes. We specialise in over-dimensional cargo (ODC) and heavy haulage. This includes machinery, industrial equipment, transformers, and construction materials. We arrange route surveys, police escorts, permit applications from relevant transport authorities, and specialized low-bed or multi-axle trailers. Every ODC move is planned with detailed load calculations and risk assessments.

All our long-haul trucks are fitted with GPS tracking devices. Once your shipment is on the road, we share a live tracking link via WhatsApp. You can see the truck's real-time location, estimated arrival time, and any stoppage events. For sensitive shipments, your account manager provides proactive updates at each key milestone (loading, border crossing, delivery).

Fill in our quote form and we'll contact you via WhatsApp within 15 minutes during business hours (8am–8pm GST). For urgent shipments outside hours, WhatsApp us directly at +971 58 871 2707. For complex project cargo or multi-modal solutions, we typically turn around detailed quotes within 2–4 hours.

Yes. We strongly recommend all clients insure their cargo. We can arrange All-Risk marine/air cargo insurance through our partner insurers at competitive premiums (typically 0.3–0.8% of cargo value). This covers loss, damage, and theft from origin to destination. We handle the policy issuance and claims support as part of our service — you don't need a separate broker.

For new clients, we typically work on prepayment or credit card basis for the first 1–2 shipments. Once we establish a relationship, we offer 15–30 day credit terms for regular clients. We accept bank transfer (SWIFT/TT), cheque, and select digital payment methods. For large project shipments, milestone billing can be arranged.
