Transportation price

[Haoyang CheParticipant]

Hi, I want to transport a 40 ft container to Saibai Island, but I didn’t see the specific shipping quote on the Sea Swift website. I also don’t want to bother their work for such an order that might never be placed. May I ask if there are any other ways for me to find out the relevant price?

Hello Haoyang

Estimated costs to ship a 40-foot container from Cairns to Saibai Island ranges between $3,500 and $5,500 AU on a barge service (such as those offered by Sea Swift).

Things you need to consider
Handling and Port Fees: Costs associated with loading, unloading, and port operations at both Cairns and Saibai Island (assuming you’re shipping from Cairns)

Fuel Surcharges: Variable charges reflecting current fuel prices, which can significantly impact overall shipping costs.

Insurance and Documentation: Optional but recommended expenses to cover potential risks during transit.

You’ll need to make some calculated assumptions based on the above, and the type of goods/materials you’re looking to ship to Saibai.
