Complete shipment information helps our team evaluate the cargo correctly and determine the appropriate service.

Yes. You do not need to know every ocean freight term or shipping requirement before contacting Antillean.

Tell us where you are shipping from, where the cargo is going, and what you need to move. Our team can help you understand the available options, what information is required, and what comes next.

LCL stands for Less than Container Load. It allows qualifying cargo to be consolidated with other shipments when you do not need an entire container.

LCL can be useful for smaller commercial shipments, inventory replenishment, boxes, pallets, and other cargo that does not require a dedicated container. Availability varies by route and destination.

No. Depending on the destination and cargo, Antillean may offer LCL service that allows you to ship without filling an entire container.

If you have a smaller shipment, provide the destination, cargo description, number of pieces, dimensions, and weight so our team can determine what options are available.

The main difference is how container space is used.

With LCL shipping, your cargo shares container space with other qualifying shipments. With FCL shipping, a container is assigned to your shipment.

The better option depends on your cargo volume, dimensions, destination, handling requirements, and other shipment details.

Yes. Antillean works with businesses that need to move commercial cargo between Miami and Caribbean markets.

Customers include companies shipping inventory, supplies, equipment, project cargo, machinery, and other commercial freight. We also work with importers, distributors, consolidators, contractors, and organizations managing recurring shipments.

Antillean can evaluate machinery, equipment, and other special cargo for qualifying routes.

Because this type of freight may require specialized equipment or handling, provide the cargo description, dimensions, weight, origin, destination, and any relevant loading information when requesting a quote.

Certain oversized, non-containerized, or breakbulk cargo can be evaluated by Antillean based on the route and shipment requirements.

Dimensions, weight, cargo configuration, loading requirements, and available equipment must be reviewed before the shipment can be confirmed.

Vehicle shipping is available on qualifying Antillean routes.

Vehicle eligibility, model-year restrictions, documentation, permits, and destination requirements vary by country and can change. Review the applicable Destination page or contact Antillean before delivering a vehicle.

Certain hazardous materials may be considered depending on their classification, route, packaging, documentation, and regulatory requirements.

An SDS or MSDS and additional dangerous-goods documentation may be required. Hazardous cargo should be reviewed and approved before it is delivered for shipment.

Ocean freight pricing can depend on factors such as route, cargo type, cargo volume, dimensions, weight, container or equipment requirements, and handling conditions.

Providing accurate shipment information when requesting your quote helps Antillean determine the appropriate service and applicable charges.

Antillean quotes are valid for 30 days.

Quoted rates are based on the cargo dimensions, weight, description, and conditions declared when the quotation is prepared. If those details change when the cargo is delivered, the rate may also change. Applicable Antillean governing charges, surcharges, and fees in effect at the time of shipment may apply.

You can request a shipping quote through Antillean Line’s online Request a Quote form. Provide your origin, destination, cargo description, quantity, dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements so our team can evaluate the shipment and determine the appropriate service.

Ocean freight transit time depends on the destination, sailing schedule, operating conditions, and shipment.

Antillean can provide the expected transit information for a specific shipment, but scheduled transit times are estimates and are not guaranteed delivery dates.

Not necessarily. Vessel arrival and cargo availability are different stages of the shipping process.

After arrival, cargo may still be subject to unloading, documentation, port procedures, customs requirements, release procedures, and other destination processes before it becomes available.

Some cargo should be booked or evaluated before delivery.

Containers, vehicles, machinery, oversized cargo, hazardous materials, and other special shipments may require advance information or approval. Contact our team first if you are unsure about the requirements for your cargo.

To request a booking, complete our Booking Request Form. If you prefer, email us at hello@antillean.com and our team can assist you.

Antillean’s operating network includes trucking capabilities that can support qualifying cargo movements.

Trucking availability and pricing depend on the pickup or delivery location, cargo, equipment requirements, and shipment. Include any pickup or trucking requirements when requesting your quote. Check out our Trucking page for more details.

Antillean’s ocean transportation does not automatically include customs brokerage or customs clearance.

Customers may need to work with a customs broker and comply with the import and customs requirements of the destination country. Our team can help explain the shipping process and direct customers to the appropriate local contact when needed.

Shipper-owned containers, commonly called SOC containers, may be accepted subject to Antillean’s requirements.

A Bill of Sale and a valid Seaworthy Certificate are required. Additional cargo, booking, and destination documentation may also apply.

Yes. Businesses with recurring cargo can speak with Antillean about their regular routes, cargo types, volumes, and shipping requirements.

Providing this information helps our team understand the broader shipping need rather than evaluating each movement without context.

Antillean serves a multilingual Caribbean customer base and provides assistance in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole.

Language availability can help customers better understand shipment information, documentation requirements, and next steps.
