Our Container Shipping Services to Alicante


Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping


More than 70 % of commercial traffic to Alicante moves FCL to unlock lower unit costs on bulk items like marble slabs and seasonal produce. We offer 20', 40', and 40'HC equipment, plus reefers for perishables.


Less than Container Load (LCL) Shipping


SMEs shipping samples, e-commerce orders, or promotional goods save up to 50 % via our weekly LCL consolidations from major hubs such as Rotterdam, New York, and Shanghai.


Popular mode: LCL is rapidly growing among Amazon & Shopify sellers targeting Spain’s Levante region.

Major port & airport served: Port of Alicante (ESALC) and Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) for urgent air imports.

Typical cargo: Footwear, ceramics, fresh grapes, olive oil.

Transit time: 12–18 days from New York; 25–30 days from Shanghai (direct service).
