Our sea freight shipping is built around LCL — less-than-container-load — so you share container space and pay only for the room your goods take up. It’s the most economical way to move personal effects, boxes and baggage by sea. Whether you need straightforward LCL shipping, a one-off LCL shipment, or LCL cargo shipping as part of a larger move, we handle it door to port; for bigger loads we also arrange full-container (FCL) sea cargo.
Our sea freight services cover the booking, the export paperwork and the freight itself, from any UK address. Sea freight rates are priced on the volume your goods occupy, so a clear, itemised list gets you an accurate quote — and as long as your shipment is what you told us, that’s the price you pay, subject to carrier rates at the time of booking.
