Sea Freight

Oldenburger|Fritom offers the best logistic solutions for your sea freight shipments. Whether it is the import or export of LCL or FCL shipments. When it comes to cross trades you can rely on our expertise as well. The same goes for the preparation of customs documentation and our own bonded warehouse.

Furthermore, to guarantee maximum security, we conduct gas measurements. If necessary, we degas the containers ourselves by ventilating them sustainably, both at our location in Veendam and on-site.

Sea Freight: LCL and FCL Import and Export

If you want to ship a container at a competitive price, Oldenburger|Fritom is the place to go to. We take care of both import and export LCL (Less than Container Load) and FCL shipments (Full Container Load). You choose LCL shipments when you need the transportation of a not fully loaded container from Rotterdam or another port.

Are you in need of a full 20 ft or 40 ft container or 40 ft high cube? We take care of this as well. In addition, we take care of so-called cross trades in case you have a shipment of which the transportation route doesn’t go via the Netherlands.

Customs documentation and our bonded warehouse

Oldenburger|Fritom is known for its short communication lines. This means you will always have a fixed point of contact, a Single Point of Contact (SPOC). He or she will translate your sea freight demand seamlessly to our logistic solutions.

We also have multiple employees specially trained in preparing customs documentation. Again, you don’t have to worry about a thing. We create a carefree process where we will take care of the smallest detail. We do this with the use of our own bonded warehouse and AEO status:

  • AEO-C (customs simplifications)
  • AEO-S (safety)
Oldenburger|Fritom has a bonded warehouse in Veendam and takes care of all documentation for customs clearance.

Gas measurements and sustainable degassing and ventilation

To ensure employee safety – and to comply with all customs requirements – a sea freight forwarder is required to inspect incoming containers for dangers of intoxication, suffocation, fire, and poisoning. That is why Oldenburger|Fritom conducts a gas measurement. It determines whether or not toxic gasses are (still) present in a sea container. Oldenburger|Fritom is authorized to degas the containers itself, if the gas measurement indicates this. For this purpose we employ a team of certified cargo surveyors.

In line with our safety management policy, we degas using an innovative process called sustainable ventilation. Unlike traditional degassing processes, sustainable ventilation is environmentally friendly, with minimal impact on people and the environment. In addition to the safety of our employees, this form of degassing also prevents possible problems caused by pests or insects.

Gas Measurements And Sustainable Degassing And Ventilation Of Shipping Containers

On-site gas measurement and environmentally friendly degassing

Since 2025, Oldenburger|Fritom has been providing on-site gas measurements and, if necessary, the degassing process of sea freight through sustainable ventilation. This offers nothing but advantages. First and foremost, this service of our cargo surveyors strengthens your sustainability ambitions. Gas measurements and any degassing processes are carried out in the most environmentally friendly way. Moreover, you save significant time by outsourcing the process to our Single Point Of Contact (SPOC). This means your sea freight shipments can be unloaded much faster.

Oldenburger|Fritom is your sea freight specialist. We also handle gas measurements, sustainable degassing, and ventilation.
