Our facility at Thames Industrial Park gives clients a place to stage cargo before it sails. Vehicles can be parked securely while documentation is completed, pallets can be consolidated into a single container, and part loads from several suppliers can be received, checked and combined into one shipment.

Indicative rates only, excluding VAT where applicable. Final pricing depends on dimensions, weight, sailing schedule and destination charges.
Everything received is booked in against your reference, photographed and reported. When the sailing is confirmed we load, brace and seal the container on site and deliver it straight to the quay, no long inland leg, no additional handling.

Consolidation that saves freight
Shipping three part loads separately almost always costs more than combining them into one container. We receive goods from multiple suppliers, hold them until the last piece arrives, then load a single box with one bill of lading and one set of documents, usually saving a substantial share of the total freight bill.

Packing to survive the voyage
Sea freight is a hostile environment: humidity, vibration and constant movement. Our packers use appropriate dunnage, corner protection, ratchet strapping and, where timber is used, ISPM15 heat-treated material stamped for international acceptance. Every load is photographed before the doors are sealed.
