Shared Air Freight at Reduced Rates

Consolidated air freight allows shippers with smaller volumes to access the speed of air transport at lower per-kg rates, by sharing ULD (Unit Load Device) space with other shippers. Marwest LLC operates regular air freight consolidation from Chinese airports to major African and US destinations, building ULD loads with other clients' cargo to achieve carrier buy rates.
