From Ship to Shore: How Mercargo Makes Ocean Freight Work for You

If you’ve ever ordered something from overseas, whether it’s coffee beans from Brazil or machinery from Germany, chances are it spent weeks on the water before reaching you. Ocean freight moves over 90% of global trade, and for many businesses, it’s the most cost-friendly way to ship goods long distances.

At Mercargo, we know those weeks on the water are just one part of the journey. The real challenge is making sure your cargo gets on the right ship, at the right price, and arrives without a hitch. That’s where our strong carrier partnerships come in. By working closely with trusted shipping lines, we can secure space and competitive rates, even during peak season when space is tight and costs skyrocket.

We handle everything from full container loads for large exports to shared containers for smaller shipments. Some of our customers send multiple 40-foot containers a month, others just need a single LCL shipment every quarter. Either way, we treat it with the same care.

And because business doesn’t stop at the port, we offer door-to-door services. That means we can pick up your goods, handle customs and paperwork, arrange inland transport, and deliver them to your warehouse, no extra headaches for you.

Ocean freight might be the oldest form of global shipping, but with Mercargo, it’s handled with modern efficiency, personal attention, and the reliability your business needs to keep moving.
