Sea Freight & Sea Cargo Cost-efficient FCL & LCL between UK and Pakistan
For shipments involving bulk, heavy, or non-urgent cargo, sea freight remains the most cost-effective shipping method. We offer full container load (FCL) and less-than-container load (LCL) services from Karachi Port and Port Qasim, Pakistan’s principal export hubs, to major UK ports such as Felixstowe, London Gateway, Southampton, and Liverpool.
Choosing FCL means you get a dedicated container—either 20-foot or 40-foot—with flexible sailing schedules and secure stuffing of your cargo. LCL is ideal for smaller consignments, where your goods share container space with other shipments, reducing costs. We also offer buyer’s consolidation, combining multiple suppliers’ shipments in Pakistan into a single UK arrival, streamlining logistics and reducing shipping costs.
Our sea freight services include value-added options such as export packing with high-quality packing materials, palletisation, insurance coverage, and UK devanning and distribution to your destination address. Sea shipping is best suited for large volumes, cost-sensitive shipments, and non-urgent delivery schedules, especially when you have regular replenishment cycles.

Our air freight shipping method includes door-to-airport and door-to-door services, where we handle cargo pickup from your Pakistan address, export customs clearance, and delivery to your UK destination address. This seamless door service ensures your cargo is delivered safely without you needing to manage multiple touchpoints.
Air freight is ideal for sensitive cargo such as high-value electronics, fashion items, samples, and perishables—subject to airline restrictions on hazardous materials and prohibited items. It is the preferred choice for time-critical shipments, product launches, and e-commerce replenishment requiring timely deliveries.
