Sea Freight — Ask Us for a Quote!

Sea freight is particularly suitable for transporting large consignments and for long distances. It is an excellent solution for industrial, commercial, and project deliveries where shipment volumes are large and schedules are planned in advance.

Sea Containers Reliably Worldwide

We handle sea freight shipments safely and cost-effectively. AHA Logistics manages both less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments and full container load (FCL) transports, regardless of the destination.

We also offer container transport solutions requiring special equipment when the cargo is oversized, heavy, or unusually shaped. In addition, we arrange both RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) shipments, where vehicles and heavy machinery are driven directly onto the vessel, and LoLo (lift-on/lift-off) shipments, where cargo is loaded and unloaded using lifting equipment.

If needed, we also take care of container stuffing and unstuffing, as well as road transport of containers between ports, terminals, and the customer’s premises. This way, the entire transport process remains under the control of a single partner—smoothly, safely, and on schedule.
