Ocean freight

The management of ocean freight services begins before the goods even leave the port. In fact, our know-how and assistance in terms of consultancy, consular, banking, insurance, and customs documentation allow us to provide a service that simplifies shipments for our clients, regardless of the types of goods being shipped.

Whatever your business needs, wherever the destination, we have the solution. We handle daily import/export departures to and from the main commercial routes on five continents, and we offer a range of flexible and personalized services, from full container loads to consolidated shipments.

GROUPAGE SERVICE (LCL) is a shipment type where goods from various senders and recipients are consolidated into a single container. As a result, we can optimize resources and reduce transportation costs.
FULL CONTAINER LOAD (FCL) is a shipment type where a cargo shipment occupies the full size of a container. Sometimes the container may not be completely filled, but the rate is charged on the basis of a full container.

In addition to general cargo, Timat service has developed expertise in:

Exceptional and oversized transport (we handle the extraordinary).
Pharma transport (temperature-controlled loads).
IMO transport (hazardous goods).

We assist clients in completing the necessary documentation to accompany the shipment of these types of goods.

The specifications listed above are, however, representative for the majority of containers.

Additional container services

Smart containers are equipped with devices that can be integrated into the client’s it systems to provide timely data on container location, door status, temperature or humidity (available for dry, open top, flat rack, reefer containers).
Clothes hanger bars.
Cleaning: all containers used for transportation need to be cleaned regularly.
Pest control enables the elimination of any trace of pest insects thanks to chemical treatments, particularly through fumigation and gases.
Thermal blanket helps maintain a constant temperature inside the containers, reducing damage caused by temperature fluctuations.
Flexitank is a type of bulk bladder pouch or bag used for transporting large quantities of liquids within standard dry containers. They are increasingly employed for carrying non-hazardous liquids such as oil, wine, water, fruit juices, and also food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, industrial products, and animal feed. Flexitanks are safer because they are meant to be used only once, reducing the chance of contamination.

Container rental and sales

If you are looking to purchase or rent a container, we have a large stock of RINA certified and/or similar containers. They meet safety and structural standards to ensure their safe transportation on ships.
