Sea freight rates & services
The vast majority of household goods and personal effects moved internationally are sent by sea aboard modern containerised vessels. Generally this is the most economical way of forwarding goods. However, there are differing service levels available in this category. In moving goods internationally, like most things, there are usually several options available depending on the level of service provided, the length of time taken for the journey and the reliability and frequency of the ocean carrier.
With this in mind we are able to offer three different shipping methods to get your possessions to your new destination, depending on your volume and budget. The three methods that we use for sea shipments are:
Sea freight shipping methods
Consolidated / groupage shipment
This is when we group clients’ shipments together to fill a container before loading the container onto a vessel. We build a bulk head between each client’s shipment in the container, to ensure they are separated during transit. On arrival at the destination, the container is unloaded and each client’s shipment separated for delivery. Generally this is the most economical way of sending your shipment, as the ocean freight for the whole container is shared and you pay only the portion related to the volume of goods you ship.
Less than a container load
For this method of shipment we build a plywood crate (known as a “liftvan”) around your goods after packing. The liftvan is then loaded, as is, into a container bound for your new destination country. We would use this method for small volume shipments to destinations that have low traffic and where we cannot arrange a consolidated container for shipment.
Container types and sizes 20 Foot Container
40 Foot Container
Interior width:2352 mm (7 ft 8.6 in) 45 Foot Container
The cubic volume is based on the total space inside a container. Please note that the loaded volume will be less due to space taken up in the loading of irregularly shaped household items. This is reflected in the loaded capacity.
