01
Ocean freight
Plan container movements through key regional ports with routing reviewed against current services, connection points and cargo needs.
Overview
A network shaped around Asia Pacific trade
Asia Pacific combines major manufacturing centres, regional distribution hubs and high-volume international gateways. Fast Safe Cargo coordinates ocean, air and inland options through ports including Shanghai, Singapore, Busan and Nhava Sheva, matching route selection to the shipment’s origin, destination and cargo profile.
For many supply chains, gateway choice affects more than ocean transit. It can determine inland lead times, the number of hand-offs, customs preparation and access to onward connections. Our teams review these considerations together and share routing assumptions so customers can compare options on a like-for-like basis.
FSC moves 1.4 million TEU annually through a fleet of 58 owned and chartered vessels, complemented by partner capacity and wider multimodal services. Lane availability and schedules vary. The operations team confirms the available service, equipment and transit expectations for each booking and communicates material changes during the movement.
