Sea freight Services

There are two main types of sea freight services provided – less than an container load (LCL) and full container loads (FCL)

Less than a Container Load (LCL)

Not everyone wants to ship a whole container load, so we have special teams of people to assist you with smaller amounts of freight. They can help with packing, timeframes and making a booking.

Cargo2

Your goods travel in a shipping container, along with other people's things that are going to the same port. So you still get the same care and protection as a full container load.

Cargo3

PFL Cargo can also provide specially designed wooden crates for the movement of personal and household effects. These crates can be delivered to your place for packing and when you have completed packing, collected for shipment to Pacific or Worldwide destinations.

Cargo4

Full Container Load (FCL)

Containers offer you the convenience of loading your own freight and the ability to track its progress on the journey. In addition, your goods will all arrive together, ready to be unpacked or quickly transferred onto truck or rail to your final destination.

Cargo5

We offer the use of a wide range of containers, each designed to meet different needs. These can be fully enclosed, temperature-controlled or simply a flat base for oversized goods. The choices are explained on the containers page.

The following suggestions will help you to minimize loss and damage to your cargo. If at any point you are unsure about the packing, cooling, or condition of your cargo or container, please contact your local Pacific Forum Line office before packing the container.

Too big for a container?

Things like boats, pipes and heavy machinery are often too big for a container. We call this break-bulk cargo. All our ships are designed to carry this sort of freight.
