Whether it is regular commercial cargo, or personal and household effects and automobiles, we can find the most cost-effective ways of transport.
As part of our service and in accordance with shipping terms agreed between the seller and the buyer, we arrange
- Collection of goods from suppliers’ premises and delivery to the nearest port
- Export clearance entry
- Other required documents, such as Bills of Lading, Insurance Certificates or Certificates of Origin
- Smooth expedition of goods to their destination
- Destination services, such as import customs clearance and door delivery
Continuous updates on the status of your shipment are provided at every step.
Full Container Loads (FCL) are the most popular method of shipping large or fragile loads. They provide secure watertight transport from warehouse to warehouse between distant locations. Containers are loaded and sealed by the shipper at the origin, and unsealed and unpacked by the consignee at the destination, so there is little risk of cargo being damaged during transit.
Below table shows indicative parameters of general-purpose containers.
Some goods, such as food, probiotics and diet supplements require temperature control, especially in the summer months. We can fulfil these conditions by supplying Reefer Containers and generator sets.
We can also arrange shipments of Open Top (OT) and Flat Rack (FR) Containers, Conventional Cargo, RO-RO, and Outsize Loads.
For shipments smaller than 20m3, the Less than Container Load (LCL) method is recommended. Multiple shipments are consolidated into a container with other shipments heading for the same destination. While using this method, robust packing is advisable to protect your products throughout the journey.
For private customers, we can arrange transportation of personal effects, cars and specialised items. And if you are moving house, we work in close partnership with professional removal companies to ensure that your move goes safely and smoothly.
