Cargo and capacity
What moves on this lane, and how.
The China → Canada lane carries project cargo headed for Canadian industrial corridors: oil-sands-adjacent project sites, mining and metals projects, pulp and paper modernization, and Canadian energy and infrastructure work. Each piece gets the stowage and the vessel its dimensions and its date call for.
- Ocean FCL, primary. Standard 20′ and 40′ boxes, high-cubes, and flat racks or open-tops for the pieces that need them
- Breakbulk. Deck stowage for loose project pieces
- Heavy-lift charter. Whole-vessel campaigns when the tonnage justifies it
- RoRo. Wheeled and tracked units where a service runs
- Air. Time-critical pieces, secondary to ocean
- Capacity. LGX operations plus partner agents at origin, deployed per project
Customs and inland
Canadian customs entry by partner; inland sized to the project.
A partner broker licensed for Canadian entry files the customs entry. LGX coordinates the document set, timing against vessel arrival, and the operational handoff. Inland to the site is on lowboy, step-deck, RGN, or multi-axle trailers, with provincial permits and escorts as the route requires. Crane coordination at destination is staged into the arrival window. Cross-border activity within North America (Canada to U.S. or U.S. to Canada inside a project scope) is handled in coordination with the partner customs broker handling the corresponding entry.
