LCL/Groupage Cargo
This is when goods are sent via Sea in a shared container. We can arrange to collect goods from anywhere within the UK, goods will be packed and clearly labeled. You will be issued with documents that relate to your goods and allow you to retrieve your cargo at it's destination. We have a network of agents who will assist you with clearance and delivery of your cargo. If necessary your documents will be sent via courier to your address abroad.

Shipping lines charge by weight of cargo or by cubic size, whichever is greatest. Weight is measured per tonne and size by cubic meter. Once goods are packed, they are weighed and measured exactly so that you can be informed as to the exact cost of shipping.

To calculate the cubic meter = Height (meter) x Width (meter) x Length (meter)
