SEA FREIGHT

Sea freight (also commonly known as container shipping) is a traditional way of transporting bulky and heavy items internationally.

Whereas air shipping is preferred for light and time constrained consignments, container shipping is primarily preferred because of being very economical.

Whether you are based in the UK or abroad looking for a cost effective, reliable, secure and friendly sea shipping service from the UK to Uganda, cargoplus is the solution for you.

We offer a door-2-door service, picking up cargo from anywhere in the UK and shipping it out to our customers in Uganda.

We handle a wide range of consignments, including:

  • personal effects – for those relocating back to home or simply sending things back home
  • commercial goods – for businesses shipping raw materials or stock from the UK
  • plant and machinery – farming, building/construction & industry equipment, requiring special handling and packaging before it can be shipped out of the UK.
  • vehicles – we assist our customers to; inspect, buy & ship all types of vehicles out of the UK (including processing all relevant documentation).

With our sea freight service, you do not need to have enough goods to fill container in order to enjoy the best shipping rates. With our sea freight service, we can ship your goods to you by:
