Global Sea Freight Shipping
and Forwarding Services

Navigating the oceans for you

Sea freight accounts for approximately 80% of the world’s cargo as it remains the most cost effective way to move things across the globe.

CTS has the experience, the facilities and international networks to prepare and deliver on your sea freight needs — whether you’re transporting large volumes in exclusive containers, or you need us to professionally pack your goods to be included as part of a consolidated shipment.

As an international shipping services company, we combine our extensive sea freight expertise with a suite of services tailored to your shipping needs:

  • Loose cargo or ‘less than a container load’ (LCL)
  • Full container loads (FCL) which exclusively carry your shipment
  • Break bulk and out-of-gauge cargo, which exceeds the size of standard containers
  • Packing, unpacking or palletising shipments
  • Repacking and/or relabelling of shipments
  • Freight all kind (FAK) consolidation

The Cargo Transport Systems head office is strategically located in the Australia Trade Coast precinct in Brisbane, providing easy access to major national and international trade destinations through one of Australia’s fastest growing and diverse container ports.

Imports & Exports

In the years that CTS has been delivering freight forwarding services, the world has become a much smaller place, thanks to improved cargo transportation and streamlining technology.

However, while sourcing products from international markets or selling to those abroad can significantly improve your bottom line, importing and exporting goods can be complex due to regulations, taxes and tariffs and the state, federal and international laws governing global trade.

Our licensed team of accredited and experienced customs brokers is at hand to help.
