Ocean Freight
Full container, groupage and breakbulk ocean freight, booked with established carrier partners and managed door to door from Egyptian and international ports.
Overview
Ocean Freight with Link Cargo
Ocean freight remains the backbone of international trade for importers, exporters and manufacturers moving volume at controlled cost. Link Cargo books, documents and monitors container and breakbulk shipments on the trade lanes serving Egypt, the Middle East and Africa.
We work as a neutral forwarder: space is booked with the carrier that fits your schedule, rate and equipment requirement, and one operations contact stays accountable for the shipment from booking to final delivery.
Why clients choose it
- Neutral carrier selection instead of a single-carrier agenda
- FCL, LCL and breakbulk handled by the same operations team
- Documentation prepared in line with Egyptian import and export requirements
- One accountable contact for the whole shipment

Industries
Sectors that use this service most
Manufacturing
Production stops when a single inbound component is late, and inbound flows usually come from several suppliers and several countries at once.
Retail & E-Commerce
Seasonal peaks, tight margins and promised delivery dates leave no room for clearance delays or storage bottlenecks.
Food & Beverage
Perishable and shelf-life-sensitive goods face inspection requirements and cannot absorb port delays.
Construction & Heavy Equipment
Machinery and building materials are heavy, often out of gauge, and delivery must match the site programme.
FAQ
Questions we get about this service
Does Link Cargo handle ocean freight?
Yes. Link Cargo arranges FCL, LCL, breakbulk and project cargo ocean freight for import and export shipments to and from Egypt and international markets.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL means your cargo fills a dedicated container. LCL means your cargo is consolidated with other shipments in a shared container and you pay for the volume you use.
