For larger consignments — or when economy matters more than speed — sea freight brings your trophies home safely at a fraction of the airfreight cost. Packed in our own facility, managed end to end.
When sea freight is the right choice
A full safari's worth of mounts, a shared shipment with your hunting party, or oversized pieces that would be costly to fly — these are the consignments where sea freight shines. Ocean shipping moves on a slower schedule than air freight, but for big or heavy consignments the savings are substantial, with no compromise on the care your cargo receives.
Unlike forwarders who hand your cargo to third-party packers, our team crates, packs, and loads your consignment into the container at our own facility in Centurion. That means the people who built your crates are the same people securing them for the voyage — one standard of care, no hand-off risk. We consolidate compatible consignments where it saves you money, or load a dedicated container for larger collections.
Customs and delivery, start to finish
We manage the ocean freight booking, the export clearance in South Africa, and — working with trusted customs brokers — the import clearance at destination. Your consignment then travels overland to your door. One quote, one accountable team, from our warehouse floor to your trophy room.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does sea freight take for hunting trophies?
Ocean transit varies by destination and routing; your specialist confirms the schedule when you book. Sea freight is slower than air freight, but for larger consignments the cost savings are substantial.
Is sea freight cheaper than air freight for trophies?
Per kilogram, yes — significantly. Sea freight suits full-safari consignments, shared shipments, and oversized mounts where airfreight charges would be high.
Can I share a container with other hunters?
Yes. Where schedules and destinations align, we consolidate compatible consignments to share container costs, or load a dedicated container for larger collections.
Who packs the container?
Our own team. Your trophies are crated, packed, and loaded at the OXI Logistics facility in Centurion — no third-party packing hand-offs.
