Sea freight services

Tailored solutions for import & export - worldwide.

 

Sea freight is a safe and secure way of transport between continents. We recommend sea transport if you focus on total costs rather than speed. Furthermore, transport by sea is the best solution when importing or exporting goods as heavy machinery and production plants. 

To facilitate your planning, we have sailing schedules for destinations in the Far East to Denmark – and as part of our service we will assist you with the planning of your shipment to ensure your goods arrive at the desired time.

Our import and export services

 

We offer both import and export sea freigh services. Our import department ships goods for the retail industry along with cargo for the wind turbine and automotive industry from all over the world. In turn, the export department sends machinery, production plants and Danish design such as furniture and interior decoration to overseas destinations.

Let us tailor your sea freight solution to fit your needs. Get in touch.

There are many papers that need to be sent in connection with sea freight. We have the expertise to help you with, as follows:
