Sea cargo shipping to literally hundreds of ports worldwide
Barrington’s economical shipping services deliver Sea Freight (aka Ocean Freight) to every corner of the world. Carrying cargo from the UK to the world is our speciality.
Whilst sea freight has been with us for centuries, international container shipping has revolutionised ocean freight and drastically reduced its costs. You do not even have to fill a 20ft or 40ft container, we are happy to accept LCL (less than a container load) as groupage shipping. Your pallet or carton delivery is consolidated with other cargo from the UK to your destination port, making our cheap international shipping rates even more competitive.
We Offer Sea Freight Services From Anywhere In The UK
- FULL CONTAINER LOADS (FCL) shipping to DESTINATIONS WORLDWIDE
- FREIGHT FORWARDING to DIFFICULT or OBSCURE ports (even shipments which others decline!)
- PALLET shipping to EUROPE, whether LCL or FCL; and crates and packages too
- CONTAINERS to the FAR EAST and EXPRESS SEA FREIGHT to UNITED STATES / CANADA
Barrington’s worldwide shipping services take Ocean Freight to a new level. We are one of the cheaper international freight forwarders, with low overheads, yet bags of expertise! No commercial shipment is too large or too small, so request a free online sea freight quote – plan ahead to get the best transit times and economical freight forwarding.

Barrington Freight is a member of BIFA and is backed up by comprehensive liability insurance. We can also advise on marine cargo insurance, to cover your sea freight during transit for “all risks / total value” of the consignment. Despite offering very economical sea freight rates, we prefer to think of ourselves as value for money; we always work hard to give you the best deal, and to save you money on your overall freight shipping costs. And, unlike some larger sea freight forwarders, we revel in accomplishing those unusual or difficult challenges which you often manage to set us!
We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.

HAVING USED MANY SHIPPERS TO IMPORT OUR GOODS FROM THE USA (NONE OUTSTANDING) I DECIDED THIS TIME TO HAVE A SEARCH AROUND TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A BETTER OPTION. I FOUND BARRINGTON FREIGHT AFTER EMAILING MANY OTHERS, SOME OF THEM (UPS,DHL,FEDEX) SIMPLY TOOK SO LONG TO CONTACT ME, THAT IT BECAME STUPID, SIMON AT BARRINGTON CAME BACK TO ME VIRTUALLY STRAIGHT AWAY WITH A VERY GOOD PRICE, ALSO GOOD SHIPPING TIMES.

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable. There were last minute issues on regards to customs clearance and redirecting of goods that we take responsibility for, but with their quick action, we were able to swiftly solve it all in much less than 24hrs. Fantastic experience working with Simon and his team, will continue to engage them for the foreseeable future. Thanks again Simon and the BF team!
