Sea Freight
Ocean freight planned around the cargo, the route and the calendar.
Overview
For larger volumes, heavy goods and shipments where cost matters more than speed, sea freight remains the backbone of international trade. Getting it right depends on choosing the right container, the right routing and realistic timings.
We help you weigh up those choices, arrange the booking and coordinate the steps either side of the voyage, so the shipment is planned properly before it reaches the port.

Common questions
Should I choose a full container or shared space?
It usually depends on volume. If your cargo comes close to filling a container, a dedicated one is often more economical and involves less handling. Smaller consignments are typically better suited to shared space. We will recommend an option once we know the volume.
How long does sea freight take?
Transit times depend on the route, the carrier's schedule and conditions at each port. We provide an indicative schedule with your quotation rather than a generic estimate.
Can you move vehicles or oversized cargo?
Vehicles and out-of-gauge items need specialist planning. Share the make, model or dimensions in your enquiry and our team will confirm the options available.
