Ocean Freight from the Far East to the UK
The UK – Far East sea freight trade lane is a core part of everything we do at Far East Shipping. Whether you are importing a “one off” part container load shipment or have regular full container loads, we provide a fully managed ocean freight service that handles every element of the shipment – from your supplier’s door in Asia to your address in the UK.
We specialise exclusively in the UK – Far East trade lane, which means deeper relationships with shipping lines and port agents across Asia. Better access to competitive rates and a team that understands every detail of the specific trade lane, that other general freight companies simply cannot match.
Our FCL service is designed for businesses with sufficient cargo volume to fill a 20ft or 40ft container. A full container gives you dedicated, exclusive space – your goods travel without sharing the container with any other consignment, reducing handling, minimising transit risk and typically offering faster port to port transit times that consolidated LCL services.
We can arrange FCL shipments from all major container ports across the Far East, with regular bookings from the ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Tianjin, Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Cat Lai, Chittaging, Kaohsiung, Busan, Yokohama and Hong Kong, among others.
Our LCL consolidation service allows business with smaller cargo volimes to access competitive sea freight rates without paying for an entire container. Your goods are consolidated with other consignments in a shared container at origin. The container is then shipped to the UK and deconsolidated at a devanning warehouse for customs clearance and onward delivery to take place.
LCL is an excellent option for businesses that are growing their import volumes, placing trial orders with new suppliers, or simply do not generate sufficient volume to justify a full container on every shipment.
Every ocean freight shipment we manage is handled end to end.
