Ocean Freight
FCL Shipping — Full Container Load from Canada
Dedicated 20ft, 40ft and high-cube containers from Montreal to ports across Africa and worldwide, with the most competitive ocean freight rates.
About this service
Full Container Load (FCL) is the most cost-effective option when you have enough cargo to fill — or nearly fill — an entire ocean container. You get the whole container to yourself: faster transit, fewer touchpoints and no risk of cargo damage from sharing space with other shippers.
VELOX Logistics books FCL containers directly with Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, MSC, ZIM, ONE and Maersk, leaving from Montreal to all major African ports including Dakar, Cotonou, Lomé, Abidjan, Douala and Matadi.

Frequently asked questions

How long does shipping from Canada to Africa take?
Typical transit is 25–45 days depending on the destination port and routing. We provide accurate transit estimates with each quote.
Can I load my own container?

Do you ship vehicles in FCL containers?
Yes. We commonly load 2–4 vehicles per 40ft container, with proper securing and bracing.
Is insurance included?
