Mercator Cargo is an independent freight forwarder, based in the UK in Portsmouth.\u00a0 Having been running for over twenty years, with the same management in situ, Mercator has a wealth of experience in importing goods into the UK via various ports.\u00a0 As an independent business, still run and owned by the same family, we are able to offer our customers a comprehensive customer service, and offer different levels of freight forwarding services depending upon your requirements.<\/p>\n
From some locations, your vessel may only call at one port in the UK, in which case, you do not need to worry about making a decision as to which port to use.<\/p>\n
Depending on where you are importing from, you may choose to import your goods into the UK via the Port of Southampton.\u00a0 Located on the South Coast of England, with good transport links, it may be your preferred choice for your cargo to be unloaded into the UK.<\/p>\n
We also operate the majority of our UK imports through Felixstowe and Tilbury (often preferred choices of container ports for deliveries further North).\u00a0 Both with excellent transport links, and capacities to handle a great deal of cargo on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
Your choice of import container port in the UK may also take into account sailing times of the vessel your cargo is on.\u00a0 Some vessels will just call at one container port in the UK, whereas others may call at several.\u00a0 Which port they call at first, may be your choice of unloading if you wish to have your goods in the UK slightly sooner.<\/p>\n
