Frequently asked questions

Which countries do you ship to and from?

We arrange freight between major ports around the world, including Australia, China, Japan, North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Tell us your origin and destination and we will look at how to get cargo there.

How long will my shipment take?

It depends on the lane, the carrier and the service. We confirm the expected schedule with your quote, as it changes with vessel rotations and conditions at the time.

What do you need for a quote?

The origin and destination, a description of the cargo, its weight and dimensions, and when it will be ready. An estimate is fine to start with.

Should I choose FCL or LCL?

As a rough guide, LCL suits smaller loads and a full container starts to make sense at around 10 to 15 cubic metres. Our calculator gives a starting point, and we can price both.

Can you ship oversized or heavy cargo?

Yes. Project cargo and out-of-gauge freight are planned individually, using flat racks, open-top containers or breakbulk as needed.

Can you ship vehicles?

Yes, by roll-on roll-off or in containers. Import rules vary by country, so we suggest checking destination requirements before you buy or ship.

Do you handle customs?

We coordinate documentation and clearance. We will tell you what is needed for your shipment and when.

How do I track my shipment?

Enter your tracking number on the Track Cargo page, or contact our team for an update.

Is my cargo insured automatically?

Not usually. Carriers' liability is limited, so we recommend considering cargo insurance. Ask us about it when you request a quote.

What is the difference between demurrage and detention?

Demurrage applies when a full container stays at the terminal past its free time. Detention applies when a container is kept outside the terminal past its free time.
