Whether you are importing goods from Asia, Europe, or the Americas, or exporting Western Australian products to global markets, our freight forwarding team handles every stage of the process on your behalf.

Perth is Western Australia’s principal trade gateway, with Fremantle Port handling more than 850,000 TEUs annually and connecting WA businesses to shipping routes across Asia-Pacific, the Indian Ocean, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Managing sea freight through a high-volume facility like Fremantle Port requires detailed coordination, strong carrier relationships, and a thorough understanding of Australian customs requirements.
Sealogic works with Perth-based importers, exporters, wholesalers, and manufacturers to provide tailored sea freight solutions that reduce complexity and improve supply chain performance. Our experienced freight forwarders manage vessel bookings, cargo consolidation, documentation, customs clearance, and final delivery — keeping you informed throughout and ensuring your cargo moves without unnecessary delays.

Fremantle Port is Western Australia’s largest container port, located at the mouth of the Swan River approximately 19 kilometres south-west of the Perth CBD. It is Australia’s fourth-busiest container port, handling more than 850,000 TEUs per year and serving as the main import and export gateway for Western Australian businesses.
Sealogic coordinates sea freight logistics through Fremantle Port, working with carriers, terminal operators, and customs authorities to keep your cargo moving efficiently through one of Australia’s highest-volume port environments. Our team understands the scheduling, congestion patterns, and documentation requirements specific to Fremantle Port’s Inner Harbour container terminals, allowing us to proactively manage potential delays and keep your supply chain on track.
Fremantle Port’s connections to Perth’s road and rail freight network make it well-suited for onward distribution across WA and interstate — a key advantage for businesses requiring port-to-door delivery across Australia.
We offer a full range of sea freight shipping options to suit different cargo types, volumes, and international routes.
Full Container Load (FCL) — Perth FCL sea freight gives your cargo exclusive use of a container, making it the most cost-effective and secure option for businesses moving large, regular volumes. Ideal for importers and exporters with consistent shipment schedules through Fremantle Port, FCL reduces handling and keeps transit times predictable. |
Less Than Container Load (LCL) — Perth LCL allows Perth businesses to share container space with other shippers, paying only for the volume they use. This makes international sea freight viable for smaller consignments without the cost of a full container. Our team coordinates cargo consolidation, documentation, and Fremantle Port handling so your LCL shipment moves as efficiently as a full load. |
Break Bulk & Project Cargo For oversized, heavy, or irregular freight that cannot be containerised — including mining equipment, industrial machinery, and resources sector plant — Sealogic coordinates break bulk sea freight from Perth, managing vessel booking, cargo securing, port authority liaison, and all associated documentation. |
Refrigerated (Reefer) Container Shipping Temperature-sensitive cargo including food products, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and perishables is managed through our reefer container service. We coordinate refrigerated container booking and monitor cold chain requirements from origin through Fremantle Port to final destination. |
