“It’s vital for Manitou Group to have access to transport solutions that are both efficient and responsible. NEOLINE’s proposal is fully in line with our operational needs and our ambitious low-carbon trajectory set for 2022. Reducing sea freight emissions is one of the objectives of the Group’s transport roadmap. With this service, we will be able to maintain similar delivery times, while optimizing pre-carriage from our plants in the Grand Ouest region to the port of Nantes – Saint-Nazaire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t
“The collaboration with NEOLINE enables us to take a new step forward in terms of sustainable transport: every year, 4 million bottles (containerized) will be transported by sailing cargo ship to the USA, the leading market for Hennessy Cognac. This innovative mode of transport will complement our historic shipping system by sea and rail (94% of Jas Hennessy & Co’s modes of transport, with road representing 5% and air less than 1%).”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tContact<\/h2>\n \t\tLet’s work together on your freight or Atlantic crossing projects!FCL and LCL: Choose the right shipping solution for your needs with Neoline Looking to optimize your transatlantic shipments? In the world of ocean freight, you have two options: FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load). These two ocean freight modes offer distinct advantages, depending on your shipping volumes and logistical constraints. Neoline, a pioneer in sail freight, can help you choose the most appropriate solution for your shipments between Europe and North America, while drastically reducing the carbon footprint of your supply chain. What are FCL and LCL in shipping? FCL (Full Container Load): the complete container for large volumes FCL is the chartering of a full container by a single shipper. This sea freight solution guarantees you exclusive use of a 20-foot (33m\u00b3) or 40-foot (67m\u00b3) container, whether or not it is completely full. According to data from the World Ports Organization, FCL represents 70% of the world’s containerized traffic, confirming its popularity with exporters and importers. The advantages of FCL transport : Enhanced security: your goods are not handled during transit Optimized lead times: no waiting time for consolidation or unbundling Low unit costs for large volumes Simplified tracking of your container Contact us LCL (Less than Container Load): groupage to optimize your small consignments The LCL allows container space to be shared between several shippers. This solution is ideal for companies who don’t have enough goods to fill an entire container. Your goods are consolidated with other shipments at the port of departure, then unbundled on arrival for delivery to the respective consignee. The advantages of LCL transport : Affordability: you only pay for the space you use Flexible shipping for SMEs and start-ups Ideal entry point to international markets An eco-responsible solution that optimizes container filling How do you choose between FCL and LCL for your shipments? Decision criteria for your logistics strategy Volume: a determining factor The tipping point for switching from LCL to FCL is around 15 cubic meters. Above this threshold, FCL generally becomes more cost-effective, even if your container is not completely full. Volume: a determining factor Neoline offers transparent and predictable lead times on its transatlantic route: Saint-Nazaire ? Saint-Pierre & Miquelon 8-day round trip Saint-Nazaire ? Baltimore : 13 days \/ Return : 15 days Shipping frequency With Neoline, shipment frequency is optimized thanks to regular monthly rotations on the transatlantic route. This stable planning enables companies to organize themselves efficiently, whether their volumes require FCL or LCL. Eventually, with the arrival of the second vessel, Neoline plans to double the frequency to offer one departure every 2 weeks. These times include loading\/unloading operations, and remain competitive with traditional sea freight, while offering a drastic reduction in carbon emissions.
