With a seamlessly integrated hybrid ocean and air transport model, Shipco's services span three primary routes.

The cargo reaches its final destination a day later. The sea-air solution is also used to efficiently move cargo from Asia to South and Central America via Los Angeles and Miami, while their air-sea solution connects the U.S. to Hong Kong via air and uses LCL ocean freight to reach the Australian ports.
