Sea freight is the preferred method for shipping large, heavy, or bulky goods from the UAE to Saint Helena, particularly for businesses looking to transport substantial consignments. Full Container Load (FCL) shipments offer the advantage of exclusive container space, providing better security and more predictable transit schedules. FCL is ideal for businesses with large quantities of goods or valuable items, offering the peace of mind that comes with having a dedicated container. For smaller shipments, Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping is an economical alternative. With LCL, businesses can share container space with other shippers, which reduces costs while still benefiting from the reliability and security of ocean freight. This makes it an ideal solution for smaller businesses or those with lighter loads. The nearest major seaport to Saint Helena is the port at Jamestown, the island’s capital, which handles most of the cargo arriving via sea. Alliance Shipping takes care of all port logistics, managing everything from docking to customs clearance, and ensuring that shipments are delivered efficiently. The advantages of sea freight include its cost-effectiveness for large loads, its environmentally friendly nature, and its ability to move a wide variety of goods across international routes.
