International shipping with no wasted space
About us
The world has a consolidation problem and Silq is out to fix it. In 2021, the average container that arrived in the US was 64.6% full. That's equivalent to 5,000 TEUs of air in a 15,000 TEU container ship. Or 8.5 million empty containers each year 🤯 . Our solution lies at the intersection of factory insights, shipping expertise, and technology. We work with our clients to identify consolidation opportunities in their supply chains and help them eliminate waste. By improving container utilization levels, we help our clients save money and reduce our industry's carbon footprint.

Are you paying for unused space and dealing with slow transit times on your shipments? Large shippers often get stuck between the inefficiencies of LCL and the high costs of shipping an underfilled FCL. The problem? Ocean consolidations just aren't designed for high-volume shippers. - Unfavorable pricing: At around 20cbm, LCL becomes more expensive than FCL. - High transit times: LCL shipments can add up to 10 extra days to your delivery. Silq’s Shared Container Load (SCL) flips the script! We offer efficient, cost-effective shipping solutions designed for large shippers. You get the benefits of consolidated shipping without the extra fees or delays. Start shipping smarter with Silq. Say goodbye to wasted space and long wait times.

We are on the brink of a tumultous port strike across the US East Coast and Gulf Coast. The domino effect of the strike is already in motion, as shippers have consciously shifted their cargo towards the US West Coast over the last month. At Silq, we have seen freight rates to the East and Gulf Coast ports from China and South Asia steadily dip all through the last two weeks of September. Major container liners, including Maersk, COSCO, and Hapag Lloyd, have announced emergency port charges (EPCs) and destination port charges (DPCs) ranging from $1,000 to $4,000. These additional fees will inevitably drive up overall freight costs, which are expected to rise daily as the strike progresses. This market report is a recap of what led to this strike, and what can be expected of it. #ILAstrike #portstrike #logistics #maritime
