We were recently tasked with shipping a rib from Hamble in Hampshire to Egypt. Our customer had bought the boat a few months previously but was struggling to find a freight forwarder who offered a sensible solution to the shipping task.<\/p>\n
When the customer approached our export department, we suggested loading the rib into a 40 foot container, this would ensure that the cargo was safe and secure in transit, and provides an easy onward forwarding solution once the container arrived in Egypt.<\/p>\n
Other freight forwarders that our customer had spoken to had suggested shipping the cargo from Felixstowe or London Gateway. As the customer was located in Hampshire, the best, most cost effective way to transport the container was via the Southampton port. As such, we were able to save our customer money on the transportation costs, and a lot of headaches by ensuring that the boat was secured within the container.<\/p>\n
