Sea Freight

We operate a world wide NVOCC (Non Vessel Operating Cargo Carrier) service that regularly consolidates import and export LCL consignments throughout the world.

Our service contracts and bulk buying enables Zygo to pass discounts to our customers.

Located at the UK's largest container port, Felixstowe, where all major shipping lines are represented, we are situated centrally between the port and town centre in our own detached building.

The need for an office at every UK sea and air port has gone, we are connected and subscribe to the port network systems of every major UK port to enable fast processing of electronic documentation; export and import customs clearance, releases and monitoring the progress of cargo through port arrival to departure.

Over 80% of today’s world trade is moved around the globe by sea.

Ocean freight is used for most goods that are not urgent, because it is a relatively low cost option. Most goods are now placed into containers for ease of handling, and carried on board giant container ships.

There are also specialist carriers who operate bulk vessels for grain, gas and oil, with other ships specially built to carry newly produced cars, and RO-RO (Roll On, Roll Off) ferries designed to move trucks on short sea crossings.
