Ocean freight from Dubai starts at Jebel Ali, and Jebel Ali is home ground: our operations team works the port daily, with carrier contracts on every major east-west and intra-Gulf service. Full containers, consolidated LCL, reefers, open-tops and flat-racks all move under one Dubai desk, with customs clearance done in-house rather than passed to a broker.
This page covers the Dubai-specific service; for the full capability — equipment types, incoterms guidance and our complete port network — see the main Ocean Freight page.
Dubai ocean options
- FCL via Jebel Ali — 20’/40’/HC and special equipment on direct services worldwide.
- Weekly LCL consolidations — economical groupage to the GCC, India and beyond.
- Port Rashid — RoRo and project sailings from the city port.
- Khor Fakkan / Fujairah — east-coast loading that avoids Strait of Hormuz transits for some lanes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can a container ship out of Jebel Ali?
With booking, VGM and export clearance in order, FCL typically gates in within 2–4 days of confirmation depending on the carrier’s schedule — faster for urgent bookings on open services.
Do you offer LCL from Dubai for small shipments?
Yes — weekly consolidations from Jebel Ali serve the GCC, India and major worldwide hubs, so you pay for the space you use rather than a full container.
Can you handle reefer and special equipment from Dubai?
Yes — reefers, open-tops, flat-racks and out-of-gauge loads; anything beyond standard equipment is priced with our project team.
Is customs clearance included with Dubai ocean freight?
It can be — our in-house brokers clear both free-zone and mainland cargo, so ocean freight, clearance and final delivery arrive as one quote if you want door-to-door.
