Ocean Freight
Ocean Freight in New York
When time and efficiency matter in global shipping, ocean freight remains one of the most cost-effective and reliable methods of international transport. At Manhattan International Movers, our ocean freight services in New York are designed to help individuals and families move large volumes of household goods, vehicles, and specialty items overseas with ease. Whether you’re relocating to Europe, Asia, South America, or beyond, we provide tailored solutions that deliver value, security, and peace of mind.
Flexible Freight Options for Any Size Move
Every international move is different. Some customers require full container shipping for an entire household, while others may only need to ship a few large items. We offer both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) options. FCL is ideal when you want a private container and faster port processing. LCL is perfect for those with smaller shipments looking to share container space without sacrificing reliability. Our logistics team in New York helps you determine which method aligns best with your cargo volume and destination.
Efficient Loading and Secure Transport
Ocean freight shipping involves multiple stages: loading, ocean transit, unloading, and final delivery. At Manhattan International Movers, we handle each stage with precision. Our crews use best-in-class techniques to load your belongings securely inside the container, ensuring that items are stabilized and properly padded. Once your shipment is sealed and released to the shipping line, we track its progress across international waters and provide you with regular updates along the way.
Port-to-Port or Door-to-Door Service
Depending on your destination and preference, we offer both port-to-port and door-to-door ocean freight services. Port-to-port is ideal if you have a receiving agent or plan to collect the goods yourself at the destination. Door-to-door service includes final delivery right to your new home, handled by our international partners. Regardless of the option you choose, we oversee the coordination, scheduling, and communication to ensure everything runs on time and without surprises.
Customs Documentation and Compliance
International sea freight requires accurate documentation and compliance with both U.S. export laws and the import regulations of the receiving country. We manage the entire paperwork process, from creating a packing list and commercial invoice to filing export declarations and preparing customs clearance forms. Our familiarity with country-specific regulations helps you avoid unexpected delays or fees, and our direct communication with customs authorities ensures smoother processing.
Global Reach With a Local Foundation
Though we’re based in New York, our ocean freight network spans the globe. Through longstanding partnerships with major shipping lines and international agents, Manhattan International Movers connects your move with every major port around the world. From New York Harbor to ports in London, Sydney, Dubai, and beyond, your cargo is handled with care, transparency, and consistent communication every step of the way.
