Operational strengths
Container selection matched to the cargo rather than to habit, and packing advice before stuffing — because most sea freight damage is decided before the box is sealed.
Sea freight
Sea Freight Services in UAE
Ocean freight with flexible container options, global routing and customs handling — for full container loads and for smaller consignments that do not fill a container.
What we offer
Ocean freight, arranged end to end
Sea freight carries the overwhelming majority of world trade by volume because, for anything heavy or bulky that is not in a hurry, nothing else comes close on cost per tonne. The trade-off is time, and the planning that time demands.
We book the container, prepare the documentation and arrange customs clearance at both ends, so the quote covers the journey rather than just the ocean leg. Where only part of a consignment is urgent we will say so, and move that part by air instead.
FCL and LCL
Full container loads, and consolidated space for consignments that do not fill a container.
Global routing
Routing options across our agent network, with the sailing schedule confirmed up front.
Documentation
Bill of lading, commercial invoice and packing list prepared and checked before the cargo moves.
Customs handling
Clearance arranged alongside the booking at both origin and destination.

Customs clearance at destination, then the final road leg to the receiving door and confirmation of delivery.
Why Pluz Logistics
Why businesses choose us for sea freight
On a long ocean lead time, the things that go wrong are documentation and handovers rather than the voyage itself. That is where a forwarder earns its fee.
- Reliability. Getting shipments to their destinations safely and on time is the measure we hold ourselves to.
- Integrity. Honest, transparent and accountable — including telling you when a different mode would serve you better.
- A tailored answer. Solutions built around your cargo and deadline rather than a fixed product.
- Freight and customs together. Clearance is one of our core services, so the handover between the two never falls to you.
- Reach. An agent network spanning more than 100 countries, with our own offices in the UAE and India.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often about this service.
FCL, or full container load, books an entire container for a single consignment. LCL, or less than container load, consolidates cargo from several shippers into one container so you pay only for the space you use. FCL generally suits larger volumes and gives you the container to yourself; LCL suits shipments that do not fill a container, at the cost of extra handling at the consolidation and deconsolidation points.
Ocean transit time depends entirely on the lane, the service and the number of transhipments, so there is no single answer. We quote the schedule for your specific routing, including the sailing frequency, and tell you what the realistic door-to-door window is rather than only the port-to-port leg.
A sea shipment normally travels against a bill of lading, together with a commercial invoice and a packing list. Depending on the commodity and the destination you may also need a certificate of origin, licences or permits, and declarations specific to the goods. We confirm the exact set before booking.
Yes. Customs clearance is one of our core services and is arranged alongside the ocean booking, so the documentation and the clearance are handled together rather than left to you to coordinate separately.
