Felixstowe handles a large share of UK container traffic, which is why it has the best sailing frequency from Jebel Ali. It also means free time matters: containers and LCL cargo attract demurrage and storage once the allowance expires, so we file the customs entry before arrival and chase release the day the vessel berths.
If you can collect from the port yourself, we can quote ex-quay instead of delivered.
