Full and shared container shipping

Plan your container shipment with both ends in view.

Container shipping is also known as sea freight: your goods travel by sea in a container, either a full one or one shared with other customers. Start with what you need to ship and how much space it may take. Tell us the route, how the goods can be loaded and who will receive them. We will check the container and shared-load options for your shipment.

Your route: United Kingdom to Jamaica. These details carry into your enquiry; availability still needs checking.

Compare your space options

Small items may travel in a shared container, using part of the space alongside goods from other customers. Compare this with 20-foot, 40-foot and high-cube containers; the right choice still needs a cargo and route check.

Prepare the load

Describe the contents, approximate volume and weight, together with anything that affects lifting, packing or safe loading.

Plan loading and receiving

Tell us what help is needed to load and unload. Agree who handles each stage and which destination arrangements are included before you book.

Prepare the enquiry

Four details that make the next response clearer.

  1. 01

    Outline the route

    Add the origin, Caribbean destination and preferred timing.

  2. 02

    Estimate the load

    Choose the likely container size or use the planning guide to compare capacity.

  3. 03

    Describe loading and access

    Add the cargo, collection access and loading support that may be required.

  4. 04

    Request a checked response

    Submit the information for a route, capacity and handling review.

At the destination

Agree what happens when the container arrives

For a household shipment, choose agent-assisted home delivery or shipping to port; you can also handle your own paperwork. Tell us who will receive the goods, where unloading is needed and what access is available. Container access, unloading equipment and any commercial-cargo delivery need their own check.

Check the quotation for port, customs, delivery and other third-party charges. The responsibilities and charges included will depend on the route and agreed service.
