We recognise that every shipment presents unique demands. We offer bespoke solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Our experienced logistics team understands your cargo, its destination, and your individual needs, ensuring a smooth transit from the UK to South Africa.

Our Sea Freight Services:

• Port & Liner Optimisation: Our experts use their in-depth knowledge of South African ports and shipping lines to optimise your route, minimising transit times and costs. We help you identify the most efficient port of entry and select the optimal liner service for timely and cost-effective delivery.
• Reefer & Temperature-Controlled Logistics: South Africa's climate poses challenges for temperature-sensitive cargo. Our reefer logistics ensure perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive items are transported under optimal conditions. We maintain strict temperature controls and monitor your cargo's condition, guaranteeing its arrival in excellent condition.
• Dangerous Goods Handling: Shipping hazardous materials requires strict adherence to international safety regulations. Our certified team handles dangerous goods by sea, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations and protocols. We prioritise safety and security, ensuring responsible transport and arrival without incident.

Whether you're shipping large machinery, specialised vehicles, or other non-standard cargo, we tailor a charter solution to your requirements. We arrange a dedicated vessel for the safe and efficient transport of your cargo, regardless of size or complexity.
• Heavy Lift & Project Cargo: South Africa's infrastructure projects often require the transport of heavy and out-of-gauge cargo. Our team specialises in handling these complex shipments, providing custom solutions for every challenge. We manage the entire process, from securing the appropriate vessel and equipment to ensuring safe loading and unloading at the destination port.
• Breakbulk & Bulk Cargo Solutions: We expertly manage breakbulk and bulk cargo, using specialised equipment for safe and efficient transport. Whether you're shipping raw materials, construction materials, or other bulk commodities, we provide the expertise and resources to handle your shipment effectively. We coordinate all aspects, from loading and securing the cargo to ensuring its safe arrival at the designated location in South Africa.
• FCL & LCL Services: We offer flexible shipping options to suit your cargo volume and budget.
