Sea Freight Services UK
Cost-effective ocean freight brokerage for UK importers and exporters. LCL and FCL shipping to China, India, Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond — with full customs support included.
Competitive Ocean Freight Rates for UK Businesses
As a UK-based freight broker, GlobaNex negotiates directly with major shipping lines — including Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, and COSCO — to secure the most competitive sea freight rates for your business.
Whether you're importing goods from China or exporting to Europe, we manage the entire process: booking, documentation, customs clearance, and final delivery. You get one point of contact and full visibility throughout.
We handle everything from a single pallet on an LCL service to multiple FCL containers on regular trade lanes. No shipment is too small or too complex.
Key Benefits of Our Sea Freight Service
Most Cost-Effective Mode
Sea freight is typically 4–6x cheaper than air for large or heavy shipments. Ideal for regular import/export volumes.
LCL & FCL Options
Only paying for a pallet? Use LCL. Filling a container? FCL gives you full control and lower per-unit costs.
Global Port Coverage
We work with carriers serving all major UK ports — Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool — and ports across Asia and Europe.
Cargo Insurance Available
All shipments can be covered with comprehensive marine cargo insurance. We arrange it so you don't have to.
Dedicated Freight Manager
Every sea freight client gets a named contact who manages your shipment from booking to delivery.
