Latin America Freight Forwarder Partnership Solution – We Handle It All in China for You
Client Background
Our client is a freight forwarder based in Latin America, holding one key advantage: a highly competitive contract rate with a major global shipping line. This allows them to offer attractive ocean freight prices to their own customers.
The Pain Point: A Strong Card, But No Way to Play It
What's the problem? The client has no employees, no office, and zero operational capability in China. Their Chinese factories make great products, but when it comes to booking, SI submission, customs clearance, and cut-off — they know absolutely nothing.
Even worse, the client used to try running everything remotely — coordinating separately with trucking companies, customs brokers, and carriers. The result?
Emails flying everywhere, important ones left unanswered
Missed vessel schedules constantly
Cost control? Completely out of hand
Each service provider had to be paid separately — bank transfers were a nightmare
Currency fluctuations ate into their margins
Our Solution: Their "Hands and Feet" in China
We book vessel space using the client's own contract rate with the carrier — with zero markup. Then we handle everything from truck pickup at factories, export customs clearance, cargo tracking, to BL verification and issuance. From booking to final BL delivery — we take care of it all.
Pricing is simple: the client pays ocean freight directly to the carrier (freight collect). We only charge a transparent local handling fee. One invoice, no hidden costs.
Results
The client ships smoothly without setting up any office in China
Factories focus purely on production — never touching shipping procedures
Remote management workload dramatically reduced
Exchange rate risks and cross-border payment headaches completely eliminated
The client's contract rate advantage is fully maximized
What Our Client Says
"Oceansky is our China operations department. With them, we don't need to open our own branch in China to do business."
