Overview

A service that keeps your cargo moving.

Ocean freight remains the backbone of global trade. Whether you need a full container to yourself, a share of container space or handling for out-of-gauge cargo, we book the sailing, prepare the paperwork, arrange haulage at both ends and see the shipment through customs to the consignee's door.

What's included

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

  • Full Container Load (FCL) — 20ft, 40ft and 40ft HC
  • Less than Container Load (LCL) — pay only for the space you use
  • Port-to-port, port-to-door and door-to-door services
  • Bills of lading, export/import customs and inland haulage
  • Real-time milestone updates from booking to delivery
  • Extensive industry knowledge for professional, efficient service

In detail

How we handle every part of the job.

01

Full Container Load (FCL)

Your cargo, your container. 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high-cube containers loaded at origin, sealed and delivered to the destination address.

02

Less than Container Load (LCL)

For shipments that don't fill a container. We consolidate your cargo with other freight and you pay only for the volume you use.

03

Documentation

Bill of lading issuance, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and letter-of-credit compliance where required.

04

Customs clearance

Full import and export clearance handled in-house so your container isn't sitting in port waiting on paperwork.

05

Inland haulage

Container collection, port delivery and destination haulage arranged with vetted hauliers.

06

Tracking & transparency

Milestone updates from cargo receipt through to delivery, with proactive communication if anything changes.

What's the difference between FCL and LCL?+

FCL gives you the whole container. LCL shares container space with other cargo, so you pay only for the space you use.

Can you handle documentation for restricted destinations?+

Yes. We advise on the paperwork the destination country requires and prepare it in-house wherever possible.

Do you offer door-to-door ocean freight?+

Yes. We arrange collection at origin, ocean transit, import clearance and delivery to the consignee's address.
