Ocean Freight Services

Full Container Load (FCL)

FCL ocean freight is ideal for businesses shipping large volumes of cargo. This service provides exclusive use of an entire container, ensuring your goods are handled efficiently and securely during transit. FCL is cost-effective for larger shipments and offers quicker processing at ports.

Less than Container Load (LCL)

LCL services allow businesses to share container space with other shipments, reducing costs when you don’t have enough cargo to fill a full container. This option is perfect for smaller shipments while still offering reliable and secure transport.

Reefer (Temperature-Controlled) Shipping

For perishable or temperature-sensitive goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals, reefer containers provide climate control to ensure products remain in optimal condition throughout the journey. Reefer ocean freight offers a safe and efficient solution for cold chain logistics.

Breakbulk Shipping

This service is designed for oversized or awkwardly shaped cargo that can’t be containerized, such as heavy machinery, out of gauge or large equipment. Breakbulk shipping involves loading goods directly onto the vessel, ensuring secure transport for non-standard items.

Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Shipping

RoRo services specialize in transporting vehicles, including cars, trucks, out of gauge cargo, and heavy machinery, by simply driving them onto and off the ship. This method is efficient for large-scale vehicle transport, providing a secure and cost-effective solution.

Hazardous Materials Shipping

This specialized ocean freight service ensures the safe and compliant transport of hazardous goods. With strict safety protocols, proper packaging, and documentation, we handle dangerous cargo responsibly, ensuring it arrives safely at its destination.

Door-to-Door Ocean Freight

Our door-to-door service streamlines the entire shipping process by managing your cargo from pick-up at the origin to final delivery at the destination. This end-to-end solution integrates ocean freight with local logistics, providing a hassle-free experience for international shipments.

Bulk Shipping

Ideal for industries such as agriculture, mining, or chemicals, bulk shipping handles large quantities of loose goods, like grains, coal, or liquid commodities. This service ensures efficient transport of bulk cargo in specialized vessels designed for high-capacity loads.

LCL Consolidations

We operate our own consolidations from key origins; receiving cargo at CFS, unpacking for customs clearance and delivering direct to clients.

No guessing, no waiting for third-party consolidators to fill space. Just consistent departures you can plan around.

What makes it different?

• Weekly departures from the UK
• Fast transit times on controlled groupage sailings
• Unloaded at our own warehouse on arrival
• Better visibility, fewer handovers, less risk of delay

We take a handle-with-care approach to LCL. From smart cargo planning at consolidation to sensible stowage and fewer unnecessary touches, we focus on reducing risk where it matters most. When you’re sharing a container, how freight is handled is just as important as when it sails.

By managing the process closely and working with trusted partners at destination, we improve visibility, speed up availability, and help customs clearance move more smoothly. The result is fewer surprises at the far end and a more predictable LCL service overall.

Buyers Consolidation

Buyers Consolidation helps businesses optimise their supply chain by bringing together shipments from multiple suppliers into one consolidated shipment. In particular, this service is highly beneficial for importers sourcing products from several vendors who want to reduce shipping costs and improve efficiency.

By consolidating smaller shipments into a single full container load (FCL), buyers can avoid the higher costs that often come with shipping multiple less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments. As a result, overall freight spend is reduced while container space is used more effectively.

In addition, Buyers Consolidation simplifies customs clearance by reducing the number of individual entries required. At the same time, fewer handling points mean a lower risk of damage or delays during transit.

From an inventory perspective, this approach also helps businesses stay in control. Because all goods arrive together in one shipment, planning becomes easier and operations run more smoothly. Ultimately, Buyers Consolidation allows companies to streamline their global shipping processes while lowering total transportation costs.

Short Sea

Short Sea Shipping refers to the transportation of goods by sea over relatively short distances, typically within the same continent or region. This service is an efficient and eco-friendly alternative to road or rail transport for coastal and intra-regional shipments. Short sea shipping is ideal for moving goods between neighbouring countries, islands, or regions where long-distance shipping isn’t necessary.  It offers cost-effective and reliable transport for bulk, containerized, and oversized cargo, while helping reduce congestion on roadways and lowering carbon emissions. With flexible schedules and shorter transit times, short sea shipping is a valuable solution for businesses looking to optimize their regional supply chains.
