OCEAN FREIGHT
OCEAN FREIGHT LOGISTICS
Scanwell entered the Ocean Freight Industry more than 20 years ago at the request of
several of our current customers who had to look elsewhere, due in large part, because
Scanwell wasn't a licensed N.V.O.C.C. As a result, in April of 1984, Scanwell received
their N.V.O.C.C. license and quickly evolved into a legitimate powerhouse within the
Ocean Freight Industry, which still stands true today.
Although we don't own our own vessels, Scanwell enjoys leveraged pricing based on
our yearly import volumes and long standing preferred relationships with all Ocean
Carriers. (See list) Scanwell currently imports more than 90,000 containers per year from
the Far East to the United States and an additional 20,000 to other various points
throughout the globe such as South America, Europe, Africa and Australia.
Due to the large number of imports Scanwell controls, we have the ability of running
extensive consolidation programs, as well as handle LCL freight from various locations
within the Far East such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Kaohsuing and many others.
Along with our FCL and LCL ocean programs, Scanwell has the ability to offer more
value added services than most forwarders today. These value added services include
Internet tracking and tracing, EDI, VMI and SCM/WMS report, our patented Heavy Lift
Programs and Warehousing both at the origin or destination and exports from the USA.

OCEAN CARRIER SPECIFICATIONS
Over the past 50 years Cargo carrying vessels have
increased their capacity more than 100 times the amount
typically being carried back in the 1950's. This is based
on the fact that import volumes have increased by more
than 1000 times that of the same era. Ships in 1950
moved anywhere from 500 to 800 TEU's versus more
than 8000 for the newest vessels.
Over the past 40 years, the speed and size of the boats
have increased making the trip from China to the United
States in less than 2 weeks versus the 4 – 5 weeks it took
back in 1960. This is caused by further advancement in
ship building and engineering, stronger engines and
increased port capacity.

OF 40'FT AND 45 FOOT CONTAINERS.
BELOW IS A SAMPLE OF SPECIALIZED CONTAINERS OR EQUIPMENT. THESE RANGE IN SIZE AND
AVAILABILITY ON THE REGION OF EXPORT. RATES TYPICALLY ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN STANDARD
EQUIPMENT AND OFTEN AT TIMES THE CONSIGNEE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPOSITIONING

SCANWELL SIMPLE LCL
CONSOLIDATION
Case Study #1: supplier (a) has one shipment of 5 cbm’s weighing 5000
kilos going to central USA, available now however has nothing pending
final production for another 2 weeks. The consignee doesn’t have any
other shipments pending to combine with this shipment to complete a full
container. To avoid lengthy and costly storage charges the consignee elects
to ship this shipment via Scanwell's simple LCL consolidation program.

Case Study #2: There are four suppliers which have four shipments going to four different
destinations all ready at the same time. Scanwell can combine all four shipments into one full
container, send the container to a central breakdown facility or consignees distribution center
in the states, segregate the container per shipment, per destination and route the shipments to
their actual final destination. This increases productivity, reduces costs and eliminates any
storage issues.

Case Study #3: This involves multiple vendors having various shipments to multiple
destinations, separately each vendor doesn’t have enough to fill one container to each
destination but combining each shipment per destination from each supplier it will total one
full container per destination thus eliminating storage, increasing productivity and increasing
profits by moving freight via FCL rather than LCL. Other services typically combined in this
service is inventory control, WMS,VMI, pick and pack, bar coding and customs brokerage.

OCEAN FREIGHT
CONVERSION CHART
When dealing with ocean freight, it's important to understand how to convert everything
into cubic meters, the basis of all measurements in this type of service. When dealing with FCL
freight this technique is important in knowing how much of your clients product will fit into a
particular ocean container (see below).
Special note: 1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 kilos unless except via
in-land points where a LCL shipment is equal to 363 kilos.
Okay, Shipment 1 consists of 5 pieces with dimensions of 36"x36"x50" and weighs 500 kilos, please calculate
the dimension weight.
Step #1:
5 x 36 x 36 x 50 = 324,000 cubic inches
Step #2:
324,000 % 1728 = 187.50 cubic feet
Step #3:
187.50 % 35.3145 = 5.309 cubic meters
LCL freight is measured in cubic meters therefore you have 5.309 Cubic meters or 5309 Kilos volume
weight.
