Ocean Cross-Trade Shipping

At Davies Turner, we specialise in seamless and efficient cross-trade logistics, helping businesses move goods between countries without passing through the UK.

What is Cross-Trade Shipping?

Cross-trade shipments, also called triangular operations or intermediation, involve shipping cargo directly from one country to another without going through the country where the shipper's business is registered. This process requires precise coordination with shippers, carriers, and customs authorities to ensure smooth transit and compliance with international trade regulations.

Benefits of Cross-Trade Shipping

Lower Supply Chain Costs: Utilising cross-trade eliminates all UK transit costs, such as freight, duties and taxes.
Faster Transit Time: By avoiding the need to move through the UK, transit time is significantly reduced.
Efficient Supply Chain: Product and stock is closer to the final destination.
More Sustainable: By reducing the miles travelled by your goods, you can improve your environmental impact and your customer’s.
