Up until recently, there was little visibility of sea freight services in the UK and the industry was typically associated with larger export companies rather than SMEs and private individuals. You therefore might not immediately consider sea freight as an option for shipping your goods.
Nevertheless, whether you're exporting for commercial reasons or you're relocating to another country and need to ship personal effects, sending your goods via sea freight could save you a lot of money. With our LCL (less than container load) services, you don't need to have enough cargo to fill a whole container in order to get a beneficial shipping rate. We also offer fantastic rates for FCL (full container load) shipments.

Sea Freight is the most cost-effective way of sending large volumes of goods internationally. If your delivery is not time-sensitive then sea freight is a viable alternative to air freight or door-to-door courier services.
Plan ahead
Sea freight transit times are much longer than shipping freight by air so it's a good idea to make a booking well in advance of your desired delivery date. Our specialised freight team are happy to give you estimated transit times to your destination depending on the vessel and routing.
Thinking big
Greater volumes almost always mean cheaper delivery prices when shipping goods internationally, but this is especially true of sea freight. Keep in mind that the greater the volume of your goods the more economical your freight costs will be.
Protecting your goods
It's important to package your goods correctly to minimise the risk of damage in transit. Our specialised and experienced freight team are always willing to give advice on packaging.
