Sea freight
Road freight provides the flexibility to connect your cargo directly with almost any destination across Europe. We coordinate each movement around the cargo, route, equipment and delivery requirements, while managing the operational details that can affect transit. From standard shipments to specialised industrial cargo, we build the transport solution around the route.
Sea Freight Solutions
for Global Supply Chains
Ocean transport remains the backbone of international cargo movement, providing the capacity required for everything from recurring commercial shipments to complex industrial cargo.
At Eastship Air & Sea, we coordinate sea freight around the requirements of each shipment, from container selection and carrier schedules to port handling, customs clearance and final delivery.
Whether you are moving a single container or managing recurring international flows, we build the transport solution around the cargo, route and required delivery schedule.
Sea Freight Services
Full Container Load — FCL
Dedicated container capacity for shipments that require the use of a full container. We coordinate the appropriate equipment, sailing schedule, routing and inland transport according to the cargo requirements.
Less than Container Load — LCL
For smaller consignments, LCL provides access to international ocean freight without requiring a full container. We coordinate consolidation, deconsolidation and onward transport as part of the shipment.
Project & Breakbulk Cargo
For industrial and project-related cargo that cannot be accommodated within standard container configurations, we coordinate specialised ocean freight solutions, including appropriate vessel and handling arrangements.
Door-to-Door Sea Freight
We manage the complete transport chain from collection through ocean transportation and customs clearance to final delivery, coordinating sea freight with road and other inland transport where required.
Planned Around
the Ocean Route
A sea freight shipment involves multiple operational stages, and each can influence the final delivery schedule.
Vessel availability, port congestion, transshipment, container availability, customs procedures and inland transport all need to be considered when planning an international shipment.
Our team coordinates these elements as part of one transport plan, maintaining visibility throughout the movement.
-
Carrier & Sailing Selection: We assess available services, sailing schedules, transit times and routing options according to the shipment requirements.
-
Container Planning: Equipment is selected according to cargo type, dimensions, volume and handling requirements.
-
Port & Terminal Coordination: We coordinate the interfaces between carriers, terminals, customs and inland transport providers.
-
Disruption Management: When schedules, capacity or port operations change, we assess available alternatives and coordinate the next steps.
Ocean Freight
for Industrial & Project Cargo
Large-scale industrial shipments often involve cargo that requires more consideration than a standard container booking.
Machinery, production equipment, energy components, construction materials and other industrial cargo may require specific container types, specialised handling, breakbulk solutions or coordinated inland transport.
Eastship combines its sea freight capabilities with experience in industrial and project logistics, allowing complex cargo movements to be planned around the complete transport chain.
Where appropriate, ocean freight can also be integrated with road and rail transportation, providing the connections required before and after the sea leg.
Port, Customs
& Inland Coordination
The ocean voyage is only one part of an international sea freight shipment.
Cargo must be collected, loaded, processed through the origin port, transported by sea, cleared at destination and delivered to its final location.
Eastship coordinates these interfaces to maintain continuity across the transport chain.
Our services can include:
Origin Collection → Export Documentation → Port Handling → Ocean Transport → Import Customs → Inland Transport → Final Delivery
This integrated approach reduces the need to coordinate separate providers for each stage of the shipment.
Why Choose Road Freight?
Global Reach
Ocean freight provides access to established international shipping routes connecting Europe with major global markets.
High Cargo Capacity
Containerised shipping offers substantial capacity for commercial, industrial and project-related cargo.
Flexible Container Options
FCL, LCL and specialised equipment allow the transport solution to be adapted to the cargo.
Integrated Inland Transport
Sea freight can be combined with road and rail services to create a complete door-to-door transport solution.
Sea Freight as Part of a Multimodal Solution
International cargo rarely moves by sea alone.
A container may begin its journey by road, travel by rail to a port, continue by vessel and then require another road movement to reach the final destination.
Eastship coordinates these connections across the transport chain, integrating sea freight with road, rail, air freight and customs brokerage where required.
The objective is not simply to move a container between two ports, but to coordinate the complete journey around your cargo and delivery requirements.
