Trade routes
From Asia and Oceania to the Pacific and beyond.
The main lanes we work on, between Asian and Oceanian manufacturing hubs, the Pacific Islands and the US West Coast. For island destinations, sea freight usually transships through New Zealand or Australia — we plan these connections so your goods do not wait at a hub.
All times below are indicative port-to-port planning ranges. Actual transit depends on carrier schedules, transshipments and season; we confirm the exact routing with every quote.
