Freight Forwarding Shipping

Freight Forwarding – Sea Freight and Shipping

Sea Freight Forwarding and shipping forms an essential part of the Meachers Global Logistics portfolio. The sea freight services integrate with the UK transport and warehousing to form a core part of the Complete Freight Solutions offering.

Meachers Global Logistic specialist Sea Freight team operates globally and provides expertise in consolidations, deep sea container and even conventional shipping.  In addition, Meachers Global Logistics provide cross trade, out of gauge and chartering services.  The operations teams are also dangerous goods certified.

Meachers Global Logistics understands the importance of producing accurate shipping documentation.  The specialist team produces all associated documentation required from shipping.  Documentation is linked to the Track and Trace System which means that it can be posted and accessed electronically.

Meachers Global Logistics is customs simplification certified as an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) and is on track to meet the Security standard this year. The HM Revenue and Customs EU wide accreditation means that Meachers Global Logistics and its customers are well placed to benefit from the anticipated tightening of regulations over the coming years.

AEO is a voluntary compliance and security standard and is similar to the US Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terror that was introduced in the USA following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Similar standards are being introduced across the world and include such countries as Canada, China and India. AEO helps to enhance supply chain security by granting recognition to those audited organisations meeting the highest compliance standards in all aspects of their operations, and by encouraging continual best practice.

HM Revenue and Customs operates three levels of accreditation: Customs Simplification, Security and the two combined, Customs Simplification and Security Certification.
