Sea Freight Shipping

Sea freight is by far the most cost-effective way to move large volumes of cargo over long distances. This method allows for reliable time estimations, regular deliveries and unbeatable shipping capacity. Sea freight shipping is the industry gold standard for shipping in large quantities.

Hawley Logistics has been in the business of sea freight shipping since we first started out as “Hawley Exports” over 35 years ago. Over that time, we’ve become experts in the logistical & documentation processes associated with sea freight. This includes negotiating customs, arranging for seaborne freight to arrive exactly when it’s needed and seamlessly transitioning from shipping to road haulage to ensure that your consignments get exactly where you need them to be.

When it comes to imports and exports, we can make sure your freight is fully cleared for travel. Navigating customs & import duty queries will ensure your freight won’t get held up and delayed. We’ll facilitate customs clearance at all UK ports, so you can rest easy knowing that your shipping is being well taken care of!
