Blocks:

Blocks can be loaded in two ways:

A) In 20" dry box containers with loading capacity of 9 cbm (Around 26 Tons).

B) Direct loading on General cargo vessels (only limited destination ports).

Slabs:

Slabs can be loaded in 3 different ways according to your request as follows:

A) Wooden Bundles:

Slabs 3 cm thickness: maximum 64 pcs (Average of 250 sqm upto 280sqm)

Slabs 2 cm thickness: maximum 96 pcs (Average of 375 sqm upto 420sqm)

* For wooden bundles we load in 20" Dry Open Top containers.

B) A-Shape steel frame:

We don't recommend this way as it has less capacity in quantity but we can do upon your request.

C) Direct slabs' loading (Chinese way of loading):

Usually this way is used for rough or brushed antique finished slabs, it has three advantages:

First: loaded quantity can get to 460sqm.

Second: it is $1.00 less than wooden bundles or A-Shape steel frame.

Third: and finally that we load in 20" Dry box container which is more available and cheaper sea freight rates.
