Why Seaworth
Run from Perth, in step with the world.
- Asia on the same clock
- Perth runs on UTC+8 all year, the same time as Shanghai and Singapore. We overlap with Asia all day, Europe in the afternoon and the Americas at either end of it.
- One team, end to end
- You deal with people who know your shipment, not a different agent at every stage of the journey.
- Built for heavy cargo
- Western Australia's machinery, plant and project freight means out-of-gauge is ordinary work here, not an exception.

Common questions
All FAQsWhich countries do you ship to and from?
We arrange freight between major ports around the world, including Australia, China, Japan, North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Tell us your origin and destination and we will look at how to get cargo there.
How long will my shipment take?
It depends on the lane, the carrier and the service. We confirm the expected schedule with your quote, as it changes with vessel rotations and conditions at the time.
What do you need for a quote?
The origin and destination, a description of the cargo, its weight and dimensions, and when it will be ready. An estimate is fine to start with.
Should I choose FCL or LCL?
As a rough guide, LCL suits smaller loads and a full container starts to make sense at around 10 to 15 cubic metres. Our calculator gives a starting point, and we can price both.
Can you ship oversized or heavy cargo?
Yes. Project cargo and out-of-gauge freight are planned individually, using flat racks, open-top containers or breakbulk as needed.
Tell us what needs to move.
Send the origin, destination and what you know about the cargo. We'll work through the rest with you.
