Ocean Freight

Ocean Freight Services
Full container and consolidated ocean freight, cleared and delivered across all major global ports.

Overview

Prisma Logistics UK provides import and export customs declarations for both FCL and LCL deep-sea container movements, with clearance facilities covering the majority of UK ports, ICDs and ETFS locations. We are directly connected to HMRC's customs systems including CHIEF and CDS, with our own port badges across key UK hubs. Our operation runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing us to submit customs entries overnight and at weekends so your cargo is cleared and moving as soon as it arrives. We also work ahead of arrival. By collating documentation before your shipment reaches its destination, we reduce the risk of delays at quay, avoiding the demurrage and quay rent charges that accumulate when paperwork is not in order. That proactive approach is a core part of how we manage every ocean shipment.

Cleared on arrival. Delivered without delay.

Ocean freight remains the backbone of global trade, and having the right partner managing your movements makes a measurable difference to cost, reliability and compliance. Prisma Logistics has provided ocean freight services for over 25 years, working with established carriers across all major trade lanes. Our buying relationships with shipping lines allow us to negotiate competitive rates and schedule flexibility that smaller operators cannot access independently. We are a registered and licensed NVOCC and freight forwarder, handling shipments of any size and weight including project cargo, dangerous goods, temperature-controlled and reefer containers, and high-security cargo. Every shipment is managed by an experienced ocean freight specialist with full end-to-end visibility provided through online tracking and regular sailing schedule updates.

Our ocean freight services cover: Full Container Load (FCL), Less than Container Load (LCL), project cargo, dangerous goods and specialist cargo, reefer and temperature-controlled shipments, import and export customs clearance, real-time shipment tracking, and sailing schedule management.
