LCL

As a key benefit to our clients keeping stock values down we can provide several weekly inbound direct LCL consolidations between Finland and different destinations/origins around the world through FINCH NVOCC. Their philosophy and goal is to handle only direct consolidations. Finch NVOCC do not use any other Scandinavian country or main European port as a hub for our LCL cargo. They generate weekly inbound LCL consolidations from the main ports in Asia, with major hubs like Singapore, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong and Qingdao as well as other ports in the region. All inbound LCL cargo is handled at Nurminen port warehouse or at our own warehouse in Kotka, which gives flexibility and reliability to our clients.
