LCL, or Less than Container Load, shipping allows you to ship smaller amounts of cargo without the need to hire an entire container.

Our dedicated direct service ex UK to Lagos boasts a swift transit time of just 23 days, ensuring your cargo reaches its destination promptly.
While we accommodate a wide range of cargo types, there are restrictions on certain hazardous or illegal items. We recommend contacting our customer service to confirm if your goods can be shipped using our service.
