Window Jebel Ali to Jeddah, King Abdullah, Dammam and other GCC ports. Sea wins when you fill a box and can wait. Mixed groupage from Dubai still usually goes by road (FTL 1–4 days / LTL 2–6 days). This page is the Sea Freight brief from Ras Al Khor — neighbouring URLs are different jobs.

|---|---|---|
| Dedicated FTL (closed truck / trailer) | 1–4 days | Leaves when this consignment is ready |
| LTL / groupage | 2–6 days | Name the country — GCC is not one departure |
| Air freight | 24–48 hours into RUH, JED, DMM, DOH, MCT, KWI or BAH | DXB / DWC origin; destination airport named on the booking |
| Sea freight | Jebel Ali to Jeddah, King Abdullah, Dammam and other GCC ports | Jebel Ali origin; destination port named on the booking |
Clock starts after packing and papers pass intake in Dubai, not when you send a WhatsApp.

|---|---|---|
| LTL / groupage per CBM | AED 160–420 / CBM | Cartons and pallets that can share a trailer |

Sea freight to Jebel Ali origin; destination port named on the booking
Sea loads at Jebel Ali when volume can wait. Mixed groupage on this desk still usually goes by road.
Containers we book
20 ft, 40 ft, 45 ft, and LCL from Jebel Ali when you do not fill a box. Receiving, port entry and the inland truck after arrival are part of the same brief — a BL is not a GCC door.

FCL versus LCL
A dedicated container makes sense when you fill it. Split / LCL shares space and cost when you do not. Inland truck after discharge is a second line on the quote.
When road still wins
Mixed groupage that needs to be in GCC this week still belongs on the highway (FTL 1–4 days). Sea is a calendar, not a slogan.
