What is short sea shipping?
Short sea shipping is just a modern term for what used to be called coastal shipping. It concerns freight transport over water over shorter distances, so within Europe for Seacon Logistics, and from door to door in combination with other services. Ideal for full loads (FTL) and heavy goods. Short sea shipping is an increasingly popular alternative to road freight and rail transport. It can also operate between ports in the same country, for example in Italy, Sweden or England.

At Seacon, we always look at every available option, so that we can provide you with the very best services on a daily basis. We treat every shipment as unique.

The right import and export documentation
We always look at the entire supply chain. To serve you even better, our own customs department arranges any import and export documentation and transport certificates that are necessary. Our compliance desk checks whether your goods meet all the guidelines and legislation of their place of destination. This means you can avoid any unpleasant surprises, and we make the difference for you.

Advantages of short sea shipping
