Pickup anywhere on the mainland, port delivery, the ocean or highway leg, and delivery on the other side. One contact and one bill, from your dock to Honolulu, Anchorage or San Juan.
Transit time depends on the sailing schedule. Your quote includes the sailing date and an estimated delivery date.
Truck to the West Coast, ocean container or roll-on service to Honolulu, then island delivery. Neighbor islands add an inter-island leg.
Two ways in. By ocean from Tacoma or Seattle to Anchorage, or overland up the Alaska Highway through Canada for freight that can’t wait for a sailing.
Truck to Jacksonville, ocean to San Juan, island delivery. Domestic freight, so no customs, but the island paperwork is its own thing and we handle it.
Marine cargo insurance is quoted separately from trucking coverage. Ask us and we’ll include it.
Restaurant and retail fit-out equipment in containers, mainland warehouse to Maui or Oahu.
Excavators and construction equipment to Anchorage or Fairbanks, by sailing from Tacoma or overland through Canada.
Solar racking, building materials and vehicles from the Southeast to San Juan or Ponce.
Every offshore move is quoted individually. Tell us what you’re shipping and we’ll map the route.
Only if the load goes overland, because the Alaska Highway runs through Canada. The freight is still domestic, but it transits a foreign country, so it needs an in-transit manifest and a commercial invoice. We prepare both. Ocean shipments from Tacoma need none.
No. Both are domestic, so there are no duties or customs clearance. Each has its own port paperwork and, for Puerto Rico, an excise tax process for some goods, which we handle.
Standard containers: as early as you can, ideally a week or more before the sailing. Oversize, roll-on or flat-rack freight: several weeks, because space is limited and the port needs to plan the lift.
Yes. Cars, trucks, trailers and construction equipment go roll-on or on flat-racks. Fuel tanks must be near empty and batteries disconnected for the ocean leg. We’ll send the prep checklist with your quote.
The ocean carrier’s liability is limited by law and is usually far below the freight’s value. We quote marine cargo insurance with every offshore move and recommend it on any high-value shipment.
