Sea freight is the most practical and cost-effective option for shipping from China to FSM. Cargo departs from major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, or Qingdao and is shipped via regional transshipment hubs to Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, or Kosrae. Sea freight is suitable for construction materials, machinery, consumer goods, and bulk shipments. Due to limited port capacity and infrequent sailings, careful scheduling and professional handling are essential. Logistics Groups manages vessel coordination, port operations, and final delivery across the islands.
Air freight offers a faster solution for urgent or high-value shipments. Cargo arrives at Pohnpei International Airport, Chuuk International Airport, Yap International Airport, or Kosrae Airport, with transit times typically ranging from 3 to 7 days depending on routing and flight availability. Air freight is ideal for electronics, perishables, medical supplies, and urgent project shipments. Logistics Groups handles air cargo booking, customs clearance, and final delivery across FSM.

Full-container-load (FCL) shipping is ideal for businesses with large cargo volumes or goods requiring secure, dedicated container space. Global China Freight negotiates competitive FCL rates for 20GP, 40GP, and 40HQ containers sailing to FSM’s main ports. FCL shipping minimizes handling, enhances security, and offers predictable transit times, making it a preferred solution for construction materials, industrial equipment, retail products, and bulk commercial shipments.
LCL shipping is ideal for smaller shipments that do not fill a full container. Cargo is consolidated at origin in China and shipped via regional hubs before arriving in FSM. While transit times may be slightly longer due to consolidation and limited sailings, LCL offers flexibility and cost efficiency. Logistics Groups manages consolidation, documentation, customs clearance, and final delivery.
