Sea freight solutions you can trust

Sea Freight Services in Surrey and Nationwide

The team here at Brooklands International Freight Services offer a range of sea freight solutions to commercial customers in our county of Surrey and nationwide. If you are looking for a cost-effective transportation method to accommodate large volumes of cargo, our sea freight services could be the solution. Whether it is a full load, part load, temperature-controlled or out-of-gauge cargo, we can tailor our services to your specific requirements.

We have 40 ft and 20 ft shipping containers at our disposal, links with every major port and the infrastructure to transport cargo along the busiest shipping lanes in the world. We also offer pick and pack services, warehouse solutions and customs clearance support, so you do not need to arrange any of this yourself.

European and International Sea Freight

We offer a range of sea freight options that best facilitate your supply chain both in Europe and globally:

FCL (Full Container Load)

If you require the exclusive use of one or more containers, our FCL (Full Container Load) option, available to transport large volumes of goods to their destination as efficiently as possible, is the ideal solution. We use online tracking so you can monitor the progress of your shipping, while we also integrate other systems to allow us to manage the cargo on your behalf. We deal with multiple shipments and are highly experienced in sea freight solutions on every scale.

LCL (Less Container Load)

If you do not require a full container, you could save money by consolidating your cargo into a shipment containing other goods. This option allows the cost of the shipment to be shared with other occupants, so it can be more cost-effective as you only pay for the space you are using. We can arrange LCL shipping on your behalf, calculating the right amount of space to transport your cargo at the best rate.

The Advantages of Sea Freight

There are several advantages to using sea freight to facilitate your supply chain:

Cost-Effective

If your cargo is not time-sensitive, then sea transportation could save you significant money. With competitive rates on FCL and LCL shipping methods, consolidation and special cargo options, it could prove the most economical option for your business.

Integration with Road Freight Services

Sea freight is typically easier to integrate with other freight methods, such as road freight. This option makes for an easier transfer of goods on arrival at port, which can then continue their forward journey for direct-to-door delivery.

Sustainable Cargo

If you are conscious of your carbon footprint, sea shipping is one of the most sustainable ways to transport cargo. A typical cargo ship can accommodate around 18,000 shipping containers, transporting huge volumes of goods around the world in one load.

Global Shipping Network

There is already a hugely effective global shipping network streamlined so goods arrive and depart ports on time, allowing your supply chain to operate seamlessly across continents.
