Ocean Forwarding

Janel Group's Ocean Forwarding delivers more than standard container moves. It's built on strategic advantages that give our clients a real edge in today's volatile ocean freight market.

We operate as a licensed NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier). This allows us to secure dedicated space and equipment directly with major steamship lines through blocked space agreements and long-term relationships. The result is reliable access even when capacity tightens, spot rates spike, or disruptions occur.

These advantages are often out of reach for direct-contract importers without massive volume commitments.

Why Choose Janel as Your Ocean Partner?

  • Space & Equipment Availability: We prioritize dedicated allocations so empty containers remain accessible and we can scale effortlessly for large moves. We have routinely handled projects of 100+ containers per week.

  • Superior Flexibility in Tight Markets: When carriers ration space, our NVOCC leverage opens options that stay closed for others. We deliver expedited or time-definite services without the usual delays.

  • Competitive & Predictable Pricing: Through consolidation power and carrier partnerships, our dedicated pricing team provides flexible scheduling and rates that outperform what most individual importers can negotiate directly.

  • End-to-End Control & Risk Reduction: From origin pickup to final delivery, we offer true door-to-door worldwide service, including multi-country and buyer consolidations that lower import risk and streamline your supply chain.

  • Specialized Expertise for Complex Cargo: We handle HAZMAT/DG, temperature-controlled and refrigerated shipments, specialized bulk, heavy project cargo, plus advanced tools such as item-level automated load plans, container optimization, blocking and bracing assistance, and booking confirmation programs, all managed with precision.

We cover the full spectrum including FCL, LCL, expedited services, and more, while taking full carrier responsibility via our own House Bills of Lading. Our focus goes beyond simply moving freight. We protect your schedule, budget, and peace of mind in an unpredictable ocean environment.
