Sea Freight between
Malaysia and the World
Whether you’re exporting palm oil to Europe, importing electronics from China, or moving goods across Asia, DocShipper Malaysia provides full sea freight solutions tailored to your needs. From FCL to LCL, we design shipping strategies that maximize efficiency and protect your margins.
Our Traditional Container Shipping Solutions
Sea freight from Malaysia often relies on standard 20ft or 40ft containers (regular or High Cube). Depending on your shipment size, you can choose between Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL)..
Full Container Load (FCL)
FCL is ideal if you have enough goods to fill an entire container.
- Reserve a container solely for your goods.
- Perfect for large quantities and high-volume customers.
- Cost efficiency per unit shipped.
- No handling of goods by other shippers, reducing risk.
- Faster, direct delivery as the container doesn't stop for other shipments.
Less than Container Load (LCL)
LCL is the best solution for smaller shipments that don’t require a full container.
- Share a container with other shippers.
- Perfect for smaller volume shipments.
- Lower costs through container sharing.
- Flexible space solutions based on your needs.
- Perfect for specialized or lower-volume goods.
Specialized Transport for your Special Cargo
Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off)
Perfect for shipping vehicles, trucks, or construction machinery.
Oversized Cargo
We arrange tailored solutions for heavy or extra-large goods that don’t fit in standard containers.
Dry Bulk
For unpackaged raw materials such as grains, cement, or minerals.
Refrigerated Goods (Reefer)
Temperature-controlled containers for perishables, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive products.

I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
