JEM Logistics works with major global shipping lines and trusted overseas partners to move full and part-container loads worldwide, with tailored routes and competitive rates.
Sea freight is often the most economical way to move goods internationally, but it can be complex to manage. As an established UK-based freight forwarder, we simplify that process, coordinating every stage from the factory gate to final delivery.
You deal with a knowledgeable team that understands shipping lines, schedules, and port operations, ensuring your cargo moves smoothly and efficiently.
Our Sea Freight Services
01
Full Container Loads (FCL)
For larger volumes, we arrange full container movements to and from key ports worldwide, working with major ocean carriers to secure space and competitive pricing.
02
Less than Container Load (LCL)
If you don’t have enough cargo for a full container, we offer LCL options, consolidating your shipment with others to keep costs under control.
03
Import & Export Management
We support both inbound and outbound flows, advising on routes, transit times, and documentation so your supply chain remains predictable and compliant.
04
Port Coverage & Customs Entries
We have systems in place to process customs formalities at major UK ports and terminals, helping your goods clear quickly and reducing the risk of unnecessary delays.
Integrated with Land & Air Freight
Sea freight rarely stands alone. We design complete door-to-door services that connect:
Origin haulage – collection from your supplier’s premises to the port of loading
Ocean leg – carefully selected carrier and routing to balance time and cost
Destination haulage – delivery from the port of discharge to your warehouse or customer
Air freight alternatives – for time-critical consignments or priority lines
This joined-up approach gives you one partner to manage the full journey, from inland transport to ocean crossing and final delivery.
