Freight Guide: Shipping from Xiamen to Abilene, TX

Sea Freight

• FCL (Full – Container Load):
  • For large – scale shipments, direct FCL services from Xiamen to Abilene are not available. However, transshipment options offer a range of choices. On Mondays, carriers like OOCL with a transit time of 26 days and COSCO with 21 days can be considered. These carriers operate on a set schedule, ensuring relatively predictable transit times.
  • On Wednesdays, HAPAG provides a service with a longer transit time of 61 days. This might be suitable for shipments where time is less of a constraint but cost – effectiveness is a priority.
  • Fridays have more options. HMM offers a 27 – day transit, MAERSK a 46 – day one, ONE with 23 days, OOCL with 30 days, COSCO with 32 days, YML with 24 days, and HAPAG with 52 days. This variety allows shippers to match the service with their specific time and budget requirements.
  • On Saturdays, HMM has a 31 – day transit, ONE a 29 – day one, and YML a 28 – day transit.
• LCL (Less – than – Container Load):
  • For smaller shipments, LCL services rely on the same transshipment schedules as FCL. Since LCL involves sharing container space with other shippers’ goods, it’s a cost – effective solution for smaller volumes. Shippers can choose from the various carriers and their respective transit times based on their delivery deadlines and budget constraints.
