Sea Transportation

Sea freight transport is still one of the best options for the development of the world economy, due to the large cargo capacity that can be moved from one geographical point to another.

Currently, this type of transport represents 80% of all products moved around the world, compared to air and land transport.

At Maritima Sureste we provide you with all the transport services related to maritime transport: customs clearance, transshipment of goods or palletisation and delivery at the destination facilities.

Ocean Freight Servicing

One recent example of this was a volume vehicle manufacturer who makes parts at its Serbian factory for distribution to its network of production plants, including one in East London, South Africa. This regular shipment usually involves road transport from the Serbian factory to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport where the goods are then flown to O.R. Tambo International Airport. However, issues at the Serbian-Hungarian border meant the goods would be delayed and potentially halt South African production.

Chartering is very different to forwarding goods on a scheduled commercial or passenger airline. It’s all about accessing a dedicated private plane or helicopter to transport your time-critical goods urgently when delays are simply not an option. Speed, professionalism and tracking are essential, which is why we operate like clockwork to ensure all your needs are met.

As transport and logistic experts with immediate access to all airfield locations and aircraft availability, our ocean cargo charter services ensure speed, accountability and value at all times to ensure that your shipment meets its deadline. No matter how complex or urgent the demand, we’ve got you covered, offering 24/7 365-day availability for non-stop advice and support.

At Logistic cargo , we’ll also plan and monitor all elements of your ocean cargo charter. From ground handling and packaging to preflight requirements and custom checks, we’ll take care of all the finer details so you don’t have to. Rely on us for a legal and fully compliant service that ticks all the boxes, no matter what destination you’re dealing with. We know the red tape, and we know the solutions – which is why our services can remain streamlined and fast.
