Sea Freight — Perth WA
Sea freight from Perth.
Pickup from any state.
BenCal is a Perth-based shipping company moving ocean freight from Australia to Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. We collect from anywhere — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin — consolidate at our Perth depot, and ship the container on.
From any state. Through Perth. To Africa.
Most Perth shipping companies want your cargo dropped at their door. BenCal goes and gets it — from any Australian state — then consolidates everything at our Perth depot before the container sails.
Freight is the job — not a sideline.
Plenty of ship freight companies in WA treat Africa cargo as overflow work, slotted in between local moves. BenCal was built around it. The Perth depot, the documentation, the destination clearance partners — all of it is set up for one job: getting Australian cargo onto the next vessel out.
That matters when something goes wrong — a delayed pickup in Brisbane, a clearance query in Mombasa, a customs document that needs reissuing. With BenCal it's one operator on the same number, not a chain of brokers passing the file.
It matters when you're new to shipping — especially if this is your first time sending personal effects or business stock overseas. We walk you through the freight method, the box-weight maths, the packaging standard, the receiver's role, and what the consignee will see at the other end.
From a few boxes to a full container.
Sea freight is priced by space, not just weight. The more you ship together, the more efficient the cost — which is why consolidation in Perth pays off for individuals and small businesses.
LCL
Less than container loadYour cargo shares container space with other BenCal shipments going to the same destination. The cheapest entry point for personal effects, small business stock, and bulk box shipments.
FCL
Full container loadYou book the whole container — 20-foot or 40-foot — sealed at the Perth depot and opened at destination. Faster handling, fewer touches, no waiting for consolidation.
Vehicles
Containerised or RORORight-hand-drive cars, utes, 4WDs, and motorbikes prepped for export and loaded into a container, often alongside the owner's personal effects. Documented for destination clearance.
Heavy & Bulky
Equipment & machineryGenerators, tools, building materials, farm equipment, and other awkward items that don't sit in a standard carton. Crated, secured, and manifested for sea transport only.
Where the containers go.
All sea freight departs Fremantle Port, Perth's deep-water container terminal. Transit times are vessel-dependent — the windows below are what we book against, with weather and port congestion built in.
