Maritime transport is the basis of international trade and requires planning, scenario reading, and precise decisions. At Ethima, we work to transform the complexity of this mode into well-structured operations, with choices aligned with the reality of each customer and each cargo.
We work in partnership with consolidated global shipowners and agents, evaluating routes, equipment, and deadlines to conduct operations with efficiency, safety, and cost control, always respecting the particularities of each shipment.
FCL
The FCL modality is indicated for operations that demand exclusivity of equipment, greater control over boarding, and better volume utilization. At Ethima, full container transport is treated as a strategic decision, not just an operational choice.
We work in the evaluation of the type of cargo, routes, deadlines, and shipowners most suitable for each operation, seeking a balance between cost, predictability, and safety. Each shipment is conducted with attention to the details that impact the final result, from equipment definition to cargo traffic monitoring.
With experience in import and export operations, we support our customers in conducting FCL shipments in an organized, clear, and technically and legally compliant manner with foreign trade requirements, ensuring consistency and trust in each stage of the process.
LCL / Consolidated
For cargoes that do not occupy a full container, the LCL modality is a strategic alternative. We work in cargo consolidation, allowing the customer to pay only for the volume actually used, without giving up safety and operational organization.
Our network of specialized partners guarantees extensive port coverage, good shipment frequency, and careful monitoring of the process, from origin to final destination.
REEFER Container (Refrigerated)
When temperature control is crucial, the REEFER container becomes indispensable. This solution is suitable for perishable or sensitive cargoes, such as food, medicines, flowers, and products that require specific conditions throughout the journey.
Our team has experience in managing refrigerated cargoes, working from equipment definition to transport monitoring, ensuring adequate thermal control, compliance with technical requirements, and preservation of the quality and value of the merchandise.
NOR Container (Non-Operating Reefer)
The use of NOR containers is an efficient strategy for certain routes and dry cargo profiles, especially in import operations from Asia. This alternative takes advantage of the repositioning of empty REEFER equipment, without active refrigeration, making it possible to reduce costs in a technical and responsible manner.
Ethima works in a consultative manner in evaluating this option, verifying viability, availability, and suitability for the type of merchandise, always prioritizing cargo integrity and operational safety.
Ethima is your partner in conducting maritime transport, supporting consistent decisions for operations where volume, cost, and predictability make a difference.
