OCEAN FREIGHT
Bermuda Forwarders offers more ocean services to Bermuda than anyone else. Full Containers Loads (FCL) can be arranged from almost anywhere in the world. Less than Full Container Loads (LCL) can be more challenging for other frieght handlers as, outside of North America, there are virtually no direct LCL services available directly to Bermuda.
Bermuda Forwarders has created a Network of Agents and Affiliates in the USA, Canada, North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, India, Asia, Southern Africa, The Far East, New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere around the world. LCL ocean freight is offered usually on a weekly basis from these origins. Look under "Partners" on our home page for a list of our most frequently used agents. A more complete list is also available upon request from us at Bermuda Forwarders.

SEA-AIR
Besides the usual Ocean and Air cargo options, Bermuda Forwarders also offers "Sea-Air" from Hong Kong and China. This is a custom service arranged through Geodis Wilson Ltd. Sea-Air is exactly as it sounds: Your cargo is sent from the Far East by sea into Vancouver, and from Vancouver by air to Bermuda. Total transit time is usually three-four weeks. Sea-Air is faster than ocean freight and less expensive than air freight. Each shipment must be arranged individually, therefore please contact Bermuda Forwarders for details for each Sea-Air shipment:

Cargo Tracking
 For air and ocean shipments from the U.S. and the U.K., Bermuda Forwarders's partner WLG offers "Web Track" so that you can track your shipments online at any time. Contact us to obtain your own password and a quick lesson.
Most of Bermuda Forwarders agents now e-mail either a Freight Receipt Advice or a Shipping Advice at the time they either receive or dispatch your shipments from overseas. This gives you a good idea when your shipments are due to arrive in Bermuda.
Once in Bermuda our Local Inland Clearance Facility will e-mail you a Stripping Advice when your LCL cargo has been stripped from its arriving container. Please advise our LIC manager, Steve Dunleavy, your e-mail address and state in the e-mail this is for the purpose of sending you Stripping Advices.
Please note that once stripped your cargo must be delivered or collected from the LIC within 2 working days, to avoid congestion in the facility and storage charges of $0.50 per cubic foot per day (min $15 per day).
