Comprehensive Ocean Freight Solutions
FCL Ocean Freight
When your shipment fills a container or requires dedicated space, Freight180’s FCL service provides exclusive container use, fewer cargo-handling points, and flexible equipment options. As an experienced ocean freight forwarder, we work with established carriers to identify competitive rates and suitable sailing schedules from the USA to Latin America and the Caribbean.
LCL Ocean Freight
For smaller shipments that do not require a full container, Freight180’s LCL service combines cargo from multiple shippers so you pay for the space used. We coordinate consolidations from the USA to Latin America and the Caribbean while helping you understand cutoffs, transit options, and destination requirements.
Roll-On/Roll-Off (Ro-Ro)
When vehicles, heavy equipment, or wheeled machinery require secure ocean transport, Freight180’s Roll-On/Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) services provide a practical and cost-efficient solution. Cargo is driven directly onto and off the vessel, reducing handling while improving safety and reliability from the USA to Latin America and the Caribbean.
Break Bulk Shipping
For cargo that cannot be containerized—such as machinery, steel, or large industrial components—our ocean freight forwarder team coordinates break bulk options based on cargo dimensions, weight, lifting requirements, and available vessel services.
Project Cargo
For oversized or complex cargo, our project team coordinates route reviews, specialized equipment, permits, handling requirements, and realistic timelines. Each movement is planned around the cargo specifications and the capabilities available along the selected route.
Special Containers
Not all cargo fits in a standard dry container. Freight180 coordinates special equipment—including open-top containers, flat racks, refrigerated containers, and ISO tanks—subject to cargo requirements, carrier acceptance, equipment availability, and applicable regulations.

Questions & Answers
What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?
FCL means your cargo occupies a full container, ensuring exclusivity and faster transit times. LCL allows you to share container space with other shippers, reducing costs for smaller shipments. Freight180 helps you choose the best option based on cargo volume, type, and urgency.
Which ports does Freight180 serve for ocean freight?
Freight180 coordinates ocean shipments from key U.S. gateways, including Miami, Port Everglades, Houston, Savannah, New York–New Jersey, and Southern California, to destinations throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Service availability depends on the origin, destination, carrier schedule, and cargo requirements.
Does Freight180 offer door-to-door ocean freight services?
Yes. Freight180 can coordinate pickup, container loading, ocean transportation, destination handling, and final delivery. When customs services are required, entries and clearance are coordinated through properly licensed customs professionals in the applicable country.
Can Freight180 handle customs documentation and cargo insurance?
Yes. Freight180 can help coordinate shipping documentation, EEI filing when required, ISF-related information, and customs services through properly licensed customs professionals. We can also arrange cargo insurance for covered physical loss or damage, subject to the policy’s terms, limits, and exclusions.

How does Freight180 ensure shipment visibility and tracking?
Freight180’s online platform provides shipment status information, documents, and available carrier updates in one dashboard. Update frequency and event detail depend on the carrier, route, and data source.
Does Freight180 offer consolidation or deconsolidation services?
Yes. We provide LCL consolidation at major U.S. ports and deconsolidation at destination terminals throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. This allows small and mid-sized businesses to optimize costs and improve delivery times without managing multiple carriers.
How much does ocean freight shipping cost from the USA to Latin America?
Ocean freight costs depend on the shipment type, container size, origin and destination, cargo weight and volume, equipment availability, carrier capacity, and applicable surcharges. FCL is generally quoted per container, while LCL charges are commonly based on chargeable weight or measurement under the applicable tariff. Freight180 provides online pricing for available lanes and customized quotes when additional review is required.
How long does ocean freight take from the USA to Latin America and the Caribbean?
Transit time depends on the origin port, destination, carrier service, sailing schedule, transshipment plan, and current operating conditions. Freight180 compares suitable routing options and provides the applicable estimated port-to-port transit time with each quotation. Cutoff dates, customs procedures, and inland transportation should be considered separately when planning the complete shipment timeline.
