Lower costs without sacrificing speed
Find the intersection of on-time and on budget. Sea-Air Logistics combines the speed of air cargo with the lower cost of sea freight for a seamless experience.
With pre-booked capacity, your Sea-Air shipments receive priority treatment, from immediate discharge to top stowage. Arrivals are synchronised so goods consistently arrive on schedule.
Turn around cargo without delays—to destinations worldwide. Shipments from ports in Asia typically sail to the hub and are trans-loaded to an aircraft within a matter of hours.

An optimised sea and air cargo experience
Even if you have yet to consider making the transition, it’s never too late to start reaping the rewards. Diversify with Sea-Air for planned or unplanned cargo volumes across multiple origin/destination pairings.
One side benefit is using the longer transit time as free storage on the water. If you normally ship by air but can wait the added 2-3 weeks, delaying the transit of planned shipments saves on warehouse costs.
Operating on ocean carrier express services, the emphasis is on lead time (i.e. last on, first off priority). Terms and conditions with carriers are stringent and require fixed availability at the destination to ensure containers are loaded on the scheduled vessel and not rolled.
With roughly two weeks’ notice from origin to port, there is ample time to secure the air freight booking. For major destinations, fixed allocation terms with the airlines commit capacity from transit hubs. Any missed uplifts are quickly managed with alternate flights.

Seamless synchronisation boosts performance and reliability
Our dedicated control tower team manages the precise movement of your cargo to minimise transit time. Sea-Air shipments move in dedicated sea containers with the highest equipment and space priority. They are the first offloaded at the destination port, saving 18–24 hours for discharge.
During sea transport to the hub, your shipment is assigned air freight space. Using a mix of blocked-space agreements and free market capacity, your cargo is uplifted without dwell time.
