Ocean freight with Spratt Logistics in 2025: From Dublin to the World

Table of Contents

When it comes to moving goods across long distances, ocean freight remains one of the most cost-effective and reliable solutions. At Spratt Logistics, we simplify the process by offering both domestic and international ocean freight services from our base in Dublin — tailored to businesses, individuals, and global trade routes. 

With our door-to-door solutions, our own fleet, and a bonded warehouse in Dublin, your cargo is handled seamlessly, from collection to delivery. 

 

Domestic ocean freight: Ireland covered. 

For clients across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, Spratt Logistics provides daily collections and deliveries to and from all major ports. 

 

Whether it’s importing ocean cargo into Dublin or exporting goods for international shipping, our groupage and full-load services ensure flexible options for every type of shipment.  

 

We also manage deliveries to customs bonded warehouses in Dublin daily, so clearance and onward transport are never a hassle. 

 

International ocean freight: Connecting Ireland to the World. 

Through our global partner network, Spratt Logistics connects Dublin with major international trade routes. From Europe to Asia, North America to Africa, our services include: 

  • Groupage shipping (LCL) – ideal for smaller shipments that share container space with other consignments. 
  • Full Container Load (FCL) – best for larger shipments that require dedicated containers (20ft or 40ft). 

 

Combined with our customs bonded warehouse, we can handle uncleared imports (T1) with ease, ensuring compliance and a smooth process every time. 

 

Groupage vs. full container load: What’s right for you? 

Choosing between groupage (LCL) and full container load (FCL) depends on the size, urgency, and nature of your shipment. 

 

  • Example 1: LCL Groupage. 
  • A small retailer in Cork needs to import 10 pallets of textiles from India. Instead of paying for an entire container, they ship via groupage, sharing space with other consignments. It’s cost-effective while still benefiting from Spratt’s door-to-door service. 

 

  • Example 2: FCL Shipping. 
  • A machinery supplier in Dublin exports a full 40ft container of equipment to Canada. With FCL, they benefit from a dedicated container, direct shipping, and maximum security. 

 

This flexibility ensures every client has the right solution for their cargo and budget.
