Lower price
Depending on the size and weight of what you’re shipping using a cargo ship is usually the most affordable shipping option. Get in touch with your requirements - whether you need a single item or bulk goods when moving from NZ to Australia or vice versa, we’ll do the leg work to figure out the best solution for you. Our clients can vouch for our safe, real-time monitored, and affordable international shipping solutions.
Low carbon footprint
Many companies are concerned about the environmental impact of their business. For this reason,appropriate governing bodies regulate importing to and exporting from NZ. A cargo ship is one of the most eco-efficient way to ship goods and you can opt for this mode of transport. In fact, those in the business of importing cars to NZ often prefer sea freight cargo due to lower carbon footprint.
Plenty of space
The average cargo ship can carry around 18,000 containers! That's roomy. The perfect size for shipping cars and other types of vehicles in large quantities to and from major ports around the world. We have received vehicle and car shipping requests at impressive rates thanks to spacious cargo ships. Are you moving to Australia from NZ? Even if you're relocating your entire home, the Rocket Freight team can accommodate you!
When not to use sea freight shipping
Leave the hard work to us to figure out the best logistics to get your valued cargo from A to B! Just as we will talk you through when it is best to cargo ship, we can also help you decide when not to use a particular service, depending on your priorities.
Whether it’s for speed, tight deadlines and necessary arrival dates, import from China goods, or tricky locations to pick up or deliver to, we love the problem solving aspect of this work so that you can relax knowing your goods will arrive when expected and in perfect condition.
We do whatever it takes
Airports tend to have strict security controls and carefully manage all import from China or export from NZ cargo. Because of this increased monitoring, there is a higher level of security, and for shipments with high-value contents air freight will likely be recommended.
Take care of the whole process
Any export from NZ or import from China includes a lot of regulations (think PAPERWORK!).
Rocket Freight knows these regulations inside out and can help you get your head around all the tariffs, customs requirements, and documentation involved.
All you need to do is contact us and we will take care of everything, keeping you updated the entire way.
