FCL Sea Freight from Bristol

JD Services (Bristol) Ltd provides Full Container Load (FCL) sea freight for UK importers and exporters. Our sea freight service is FCL only — we do not offer LCL or groupage shipments.

Based at Avonmouth and serving both Avonmouth Dock and Royal Portbury Dock, we are ideally placed to coordinate sea freight movements directly from the Port of Bristol.

Where required, sea freight can be combined with our existing physical logistics capabilities — container devanning, stuffing, specialist lifting, and onward transport — all managed by the same team, with no handoffs.

What We Can Handle

  • Full Container Load (FCL) — 20ft and 40ft
  • UK imports and exports
  • Port-to-port movements
  • Door-to-door movements where required
  • Container movement coordination
  • UK port collection and delivery
  • Onward transport and final delivery
  • Customs clearance coordination

Sea freight is FCL only. We do not offer LCL or groupage shipments.
