Overview

Ocean shipping is the most economical way to move volume, but it involves many hands: hauliers, terminals, carriers and customs. We coordinate them and give you a single view of where your container is and what happens next.

Pay for space with LCL when you do not fill a box, or book 20′, 40′ and high-cube containers when you do.

Use cases

When customers choose ocean freight

  • Regular import programmes

    Planned sailings for inventory replenishment with predictable lead times.

  • Bulky, non-urgent goods

    Furniture, machinery and building materials where cost per cubic metre matters most.

  • Export growth

    Ship to new markets with documentation and destination partners arranged.

FAQs

Ocean freight questions

See all FAQs

LCL or full container?

As a rough guide, once you have more than about 13–15 m³ a 20′ container is often better value. We compare both when you request a quote.

Are destination charges included?

Our estimate covers transport and fuel. Destination terminal handling, duties and taxes are listed as exclusions unless agreed in your final quote.

Do you offer ocean freight within one country?

Not online. Domestic moves are usually faster and cheaper by road — the quote form will suggest an alternative.
