Expert Maritime logistics & fleet control
We own and operate our own ships, with box holds they are ideal for the carriage of steel and forest products. We have longstanding relationships with key loading ports across the continent, where our ships load every week. Our skill lies in consolidating cargoes and placing a ship to load promptly.
IntegratedOne partner. Complete logistics control.
Seacon uniquely owns and operates ships, terminals, warehousing, and road haulage under one roof. Our end-to-end approach eliminates coordination risks and delivers unmatched efficiency for the shipment of breakbulk cargoes.
Process – driven How we manage your cargo
Seamless logistics from international shipping to final delivery
Step 1: Vessel coordination
We work with our partners at load ports on the continent to consolidate cargoes in readiness for loading. When the cargo is ready, we agree on a load date and place one of our ships accordingly. All the while keeping our customers closely advised on the programmed shipment date.
Step 2: Shipment to Northfleet
We have longstanding relations at key loading ports of Vlissingen, Terneuzen, Amsterdam, Ghent, Duisburg, and Dunkirk.
Our ships will sail overnight for the next day’s discharge at Northfleet in the Port of London.
Step 3: Secure cargo handling
Specialist cargo handling and all-weather working at Seacon Terminals, Northfleet. Goods are placed safely in store. We specialise in the handling of steel coil, paper reels, wood pulp and construction materials.
Step 4: UK-wide transport
Haulage is booked by Seacon, often using our own Seacon Transport fleet.
Fleet Our Vessels
We own 2 ships, mv Sea Charente and mv Sea Shannon, both of which are chartered to Seacon Terminals Ltd to cover Seacon Terminals’ long-term customer commitments.
