LCL sea freight from China to Bonaire (Kralendijk) — 2026 reference rates
Bonaire — the 'B' of the Dutch Caribbean's ABC islands, outside the hurricane belt — is fed on our Central America & Caribbean service. Boxes consolidate at the Colon Free Zone in Panama, move on to Curaçao, and are feathered across to Kralendijk. It is a long, multi-leg routing — 46 to 55 days — but the only realistic way to send consolidated cargo to an island this small.
Guangzhou loads the standard warehouse service; Huangpu Xingang offers both a standard and an express warehouse option, with the express service converting chargeable weight at 1 CBM = 500 kg instead of 1,000 kg.
How to read these rates: figures are indicative reference levels for port-to-port LCL ocean freight, updated for October 2026. They exclude origin haulage, warehouse and customs charges, destination port charges and any surcharges. Space, cut-off times and rates must be re-confirmed at booking.

Not every origin offers the express option on this trade — confirm with us before promising a transit time to your consignee.
Routing through the Colon Free Zone
The Colon Free Zone transhipment is what makes Bonaire reachable at all: small Caribbean loops are fed from Panama's consolidation hub rather than from the Far East directly. The trade-off is handling — two extra discharge/load cycles mean sturdier export packing is essential, and transit times shift with the feeder schedule.
Worked example
A 2 CBM, 2,000 kg shipment from Guangzhou on the standard service converts at 1 CBM = 1,000 kg, so volume governs: 2 CBM × USD 112 = USD 224 ocean freight, plus origin and destination charges billed separately.
