Service Details

Unique Line Cargo Services considers Ocean Freight (Sea Freight) as one of its core offerings, specializing in the efficient and economical movement of cargo between major global sourcing hubs (such as the UK, China, and Dubai) and key destinations in East Africa, including Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia.

As a professional freight forwarder, they deliver multinational ocean freight forwarding services, leveraging partnerships with leading shipping lines to provide reliable and competitively priced solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Core Ocean Freight Services

Unique Line Cargo offers the two standard and most critical forms of containerized ocean shipping:

Service Type	Abbreviation	Ideal For	Description
Full Container Load	FCL	Large volumes, bulk goods, machinery, vehicles, and cargo that requires exclusive use of a container.	The shipper pays for and uses an entire 20ft, 40ft, or High Cube container. This often results in faster transit times and minimal handling risk as the container is sealed at origin and remains sealed until it reaches the destination.
Less than Container Load	LCL	Smaller shipments, small businesses, and cargo that does not require the space of a full container.	The shipper pays only for the space their cargo occupies inside a shared container. Unique Line Cargo handles the consolidation of multiple small shipments into a single container for shipment, offering a cost-effective alternative to air freight.

Key Destinations and Offerings

• Main Trade Lanes: They have established strong connections and frequent sailing schedules for shipments originating in the UK (Milton Keynes), China (Guangzhou), and Dubai.
• Destination Markets: Their expertise is focused on reliable delivery to major ports and inland cities in Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Djibouti.
• Loose Cargo Solution: For items that are too large or oddly shaped for containerization but still need to travel by sea, they offer a Loose Cargo solution, ensuring that even non-containerized goods can be transported securely.
• Vehicle Export: They specialize in Car Exports and Car Parts Shipping, managing the end-to-end logistics from collection and checks to customs clearance and registration at the destination.

Integrated Service Chain

Their Ocean Freight service is often the central component of their all-inclusive logistics solutions:

1. Warehousing & Consolidation: Cargo is received and securely stored at their warehouses in the country of origin, where LCL shipments are efficiently consolidated.
2. Customs Clearance: They manage all customs clearance and documentation processes at both the port of origin and the destination port, ensuring a quicker, more cost-effective, and seamless process.
3. Door-to-Door Delivery: The shipment can be combined with their Door-to-Door Solutions, meaning they manage the entire process right up to the final delivery to the recipient’s office or home, eliminating customer involvement at the port.

This integrated approach makes Ocean Freight with Unique Line Cargo a comprehensive and reliable choice for international trade into East Africa.
