FAQs about Sea Cargo Shipping
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) means one customer’s goods occupy a whole container. LCL (Less than Container Load) means goods from multiple shippers are consolidated in one container. FCL is faster and safer for large shipments, while LCL is cheaper for smaller volumes.
What is the average transit time?
Transit time depends on the origin and destination. From Nigeria to major ports in Europe or Asia, it typically takes 3–6 weeks. Factors like customs clearance, port congestion, and shipping line schedules can affect delivery times.
Can you handle oversized cargo?
Yes. D2D Cargo manages oversized and heavy cargo using specialized containers and equipment. We arrange loading, secure handling, and clearance to ensure your cargo arrives safely, even for machinery, vehicles, or bulk shipments.
Which shipping lines do you work with?
We work with trusted international shipping lines that operate from Nigerian ports, ensuring reliable schedules, competitive pricing, and secure container handling. This gives customers flexibility in routes, transit times, and delivery options.
Are there extra costs apart from shipping?
Yes, aside from freight charges, costs may include customs duties, port handling fees, documentation, and delivery to your final location. We provide full cost transparency before shipment to avoid surprises.
Do you offer port-to-port services?
Yes. We offer both port-to-port shipping and full door-to-door delivery. With port-to-port, we handle your cargo until it arrives at the destination port, and you or your agent take over clearance and delivery.
What tracking options are available for sea freight?
Every shipment can be tracked using a container tracking number provided by the shipping line. We also offer updates on customs clearance and delivery stages, ensuring visibility throughout the shipping process.
Can you assist with cargo insurance?
Yes. We help arrange cargo insurance to protect against risks like damage, theft, or loss during transit. Insurance is optional but highly recommended for valuable or fragile shipments.
What types of goods do you handle?
We ship a wide range of goods, including consumer products, machinery, raw materials, vehicles, and personal effects. Restricted or hazardous goods may require special permits, which we can guide you through.
How do you manage delays at ports?
We minimise delays by preparing complete documentation in advance, working closely with customs, and monitoring port operations. In case of congestion, we keep you updated and adjust delivery timelines transparently.
