Ocean Services


As both a traditional ocean freight forwarder, and an Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI), SCTEM offers its customers flexible service options for ocean freight transportation. Our ocean services encompass capabilities for handling less-than-container load (LCL) and full-container load (FCL) shipments, breakbulk cargoes, and charter services.

Value-added services include:

• Complete FCL and LCL service
• FCL contract management
• LCL container consolidation / deconsolidation
• Through service single bill of lading
• Complete shipment responsibility as an OTI
• Forwarding services
• Full document services
• Multi-modal service; full cargo transportation management

EGL also understands the importance of security throughout your supply chain. Our ongoing investment in this area has uniquely positioned us as a market leader. SCTEM was the first freight forwarder to be certified by the Technology Asset Protection Association (TAPA). We are also advanced in the C-TPAT Customs approval process and were one of the first four forwarders to be approved by US Customs for Electronic Automated Manifest entry (new "24-Hour Rule").
