Overview
Sea freight rewards planning. We work backwards from your required on-site date, choosing sailings and terminals that give the schedule room to absorb the usual port variability.

Why Johnson's
Direct services from all major UK ports to hubs in Europe, Asia, the Americas and beyond.

A dedicated account manager coordinates carrier, port, customs and delivery.
In depth
Johnson's Haulage is a UK sea freight forwarder offering full container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL) groupage, reefer and project cargo services from Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool, Tilbury and Immingham. As a carrier-neutral NVOCC we work with every major shipping line to secure the best rate and transit for your ocean freight — inbound or outbound.
Book 20ft standard, 40ft standard, 40ft high-cube, flat-rack, open-top and reefer containers on any major trade lane. Our long-standing carrier contracts give you access to competitive FCL rates and, where lines allow, priority load-list positioning during peak season.
Weekly LCL sailings from Shanghai, Ningbo, Rotterdam, Antwerp, New York and beyond let you ship as little as a single pallet by ocean without paying for a full container. Ideal for SMEs, seasonal restocks and test-market shipments.
For heavy plant, wind-turbine components, transformers and other out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo we plan the whole journey — from factory heavy-lift, port-side crane, breakbulk vessel or MAFI trailer through to final site delivery and installation support.
Temperature-controlled reefer containers (chilled, frozen, controlled-atmosphere) for perishable exports, IMDG-compliant dangerous goods handling, and secure high-value shipping — with full port coordination and customs support arranged through approved partners.
