FCL and LCL ocean freight through Houston and Savannah
Millennium Freight Solutions moves full-container (FCL) and less-than-container (LCL) ocean freight through the Port of Houston and the Port of Savannah, the two gateways our own offices sit beside. Containers are cleared, drayed and delivered by the same team that books the sailing, and can be stripped and stored at our Houston warehouse at 3340 Greens Rd, five minutes from IAH airport.
Whether you import a single pallet consolidated into an LCL container or ship full containers on a regular programme, you deal with one point of contact for the booking, the customs entry, the drayage and the final delivery. Our team answers 24 hours a day on +1 (832) 351-2461.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ports do you work through?
Our own offices sit beside the Port of Houston in Texas and the Port of Savannah in Georgia. We also handle cross-border road moves through Laredo, Texas, and cover inland delivery from our teams in Georgia, Alabama, Nevada, California and Texas.
Should I book FCL or LCL?
FCL means the container is yours alone and is usually the better value once your cargo fills roughly half a container or more. LCL means your cargo shares a container with other shippers and you pay for the space you use, which suits smaller or irregular shipments. Send us the dimensions and weight and we will price both.
Do you arrange drayage from the port?
Yes. Collection from the terminal is handled by our own trucking operation, with satellite tracking on every vehicle, so the container does not sit waiting on a third-party carrier.
Do you clear customs on ocean shipments?
Yes. Customs entry filing, tariff classification and duty calculation are handled in-house, so one company books the sailing, clears the cargo and delivers it.
Can you unload and store my container?
Yes. Containers can be stripped at our Houston warehouse five minutes from IAH, with the cargo cross-docked straight onto outbound trucks or held in short- or long-term storage until you need it.
