Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL)
We specialise in handling both FCL and LCL shipments, accommodating various cargo sizes and volumes. Whether you need to transport a full container load or a partial shipment, we customise shipping solutions to meet your specific needs. Our expertise in FCL and LCL ensures cost-effective and secure transportation.
Break bulk cargo and reefer
We recognise that certain commodities demand specialised care. For break bulk cargo, oversized items or temperature-sensitive shipments like reefers, we have the expertise and equipment necessary for delicate handling. Our team takes measures to ensure proper stowage and temperature control, preserving the integrity of your cargo.
Managing hazardous cargo
Safety is our paramount concern. Our team includes trained professionals experienced in handling hazardous materials in compliance with international regulations. We handle every aspect, from appropriate packaging and labelling to meticulous documentation and secure transport, to guarantee the safe and lawful delivery of your hazardous cargo.
Efficient organisation and handling
Our logistics experts efficiently manage shipments from the moment of pickup until final delivery. We meticulously plan routes, select carriers and oversee all documentation to minimise delays and ensure a seamless transit process.
Door-to-door delivery
For your convenience, we provide door-to-door delivery services. Our comprehensive logistics solutions cover every step of the supply chain, ensuring that your cargo is collected from its point of origin and delivered directly to the recipient’s location, regardless of its global destination.
Project cargo and oversized shipments
Managing oversized or project cargo requires a unique skill set and resources. We specialise in project cargo logistics, overseeing the transportation of oversized and heavy equipment, ensuring its safe and punctual arrival at its designated location.
Customs Clearance Services
SIL is your reliable partner for smooth and efficient customs clearance, ensuring the hassle-free passage of your goods through customs checkpoints. Our team of seasoned professionals possesses in-depth knowledge of customs regulations and procedures, offering a range of services to simplify the process for you.
Customs documentation
Navigating the intricacies of customs documentation can be challenging. Our experts manage all the necessary paperwork, including customs declarations, import/export permits, certificates of origin and other essential documents. We prioritise accuracy and compliance with the latest regulations, mitigating the risk of delays or penalties.
Carting and receiving goods
We oversee the logistics of carting and receiving your goods, ensuring their efficient and secure transport to the customs bonded area (CFS). Our team coordinates the movement of your cargo, regardless of whether it arrives by sea, air or land, to facilitate a seamless transition into the customs clearance process.
Examination of shipment
When necessary, we facilitate the examination of your shipment by customs officials. Our experienced staff ensures the process complies with regulations and causes minimal disruption to your supply chain.
Stuffing and de-stuffing
Proper cargo handling at ports and warehouses is crucial. We provide stuffing and de-stuffing services, ensuring safe and efficient loading and unloading of your cargo — whether that involves stuffing containers at origin or de-stuffing at your warehouse.
Complex Logistics Services
SIL is dedicated to delivering tailored solutions for intricate logistics problems, including unique cargo demands. Our proficient team manages complex routes, adheres to regulatory standards and enhances your supply chain to guarantee the uninterrupted delivery of your cargo, even for special and sensitive shipments.
Complex route management
Multi-leg moves across modes and borders, planned as a single journey rather than a series of disconnected legs.
Regulatory compliance
We adhere to the regulatory standards that apply to your commodity and your lanes, so shipments are not held up by avoidable paperwork problems.
Special and sensitive shipments
By prioritising innovation and effective solutions, we simplify intricate logistics challenges — providing your business with a seamless experience even where the cargo is anything but standard.
LCL Services
At SIL, we understand that shipping goods internationally — regardless of the cargo’s size — should be efficient, cost-effective and hassle-free. That is why we offer a comprehensive LCL (Less than Container Load) service, designed to meet the unique logistics needs of businesses and individuals alike.
Pay for the space you use
Consolidating your cargo with other shipments means you only pay for the volume you actually occupy, rather than an entire container.
Regular consolidation
Cargo is consolidated and dispatched on a regular cycle, so smaller shipments still move on a predictable schedule.
Full handling and visibility
Consolidation, documentation, clearance and de-consolidation at destination are all handled by us, with the same oversight we apply to full container loads.
Air Freight Services
Our global air cargo teams offer flexible solutions for a wide range of transportation challenges. Booking and transport documentation is readily available and accessible across the supply chain at any time.
Broad commodity coverage
Automotive and high-tech products, machinery and electronics, pharmaceuticals, fine art transportation, ship spares and concert logistics — we have you covered.
Temperature-sensitive and dangerous goods
We handle temperature-sensitive items and dangerous goods with the handling protocols and documentation those commodities require.
Advisory and documentation
Our team is ready to provide advice on country-specific customs duties, goods movement certificates and certificates of origin.
