Why Ship to Cyprus in a Sole Use Container
Choosing a sole use container to ship your household goods to Cyprus has several benefits:
-
Space: Sole-use container services provide the use of a full 20ft or 40ft container for our customers, making it ideal for those moving larger quantities of belongings such as the contents of a 3+ bedroom home.
Speed: Once your container is loaded and ready to go, we'll book it on the next available sailing to Cyprus. No waiting.
-
Security: All containers are security sealed and tracked. We will provide you with a reference number that you can use to track your container using our container tracking service. On arrival, your container will be cleared by customs and can be delivered to straight your door. No handling of individual items.
Why Ship to Cyprus in a Shared Container
Shipping your household goods in a shared container, often referred to as a "groupage" service, also has a number of advantages:
Cost effective: Sharing container space also means sharing costs. This is the most cost-effective service and is especially suitable for those smaller movers.
Ideal for Smaller Moves: If you don't require a full container, our shared container services make it easy to utilise container shipping routes without paying for an entire 20ft-40ft container. This service is perfect for smaller moves (typically less than the contents of a 3-bed home).
Secure Professional Packing: All of your items are professionally packed and palletised to ensure maximum protection during the move. Our expert packing makes the most use out of the space within a container, ensuring that you only pay for what you need when shipping personal belongings overseas.
Main Container Shipping Ports in Cyprus
Cyprus, with its extensive coastline, is home to several major ports that play an integral role in the transportation of goods to and from the UK and other countries across the globe. Here are some of the main container shipping ports in Cyprus:
- Port of Limassol: The Port of Limassol is the largest port in Cyprus, serving as a significant maritime hub for the region. It is a bustling port that handles the majority of the country's container traffic - 600,000 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) annually. The port is well-equipped to manage a diverse range of goods, making it a primary choice for many international shipping routes.
- Port of Larnaca: The Port of Larnaca, located on the southern coast of Cyprus, is a secondary port that supports container and passenger shipping, handling 250,000 TEUs annually. Though not as large as Limassol, it plays a significant role in facilitating trade across the Mediterranean region.
