We offer a range of sea freight options for customers shipping goods from the UK to Liberia. The most suitable service depends on the volume and type of cargo you are sending.
A 20ft container is a popular option for customers shipping a moderate volume of household goods, personal effects, commercial goods or other permitted cargo to Liberia. It provides dedicated container space for your shipment and can be suitable when your goods are too large for LCL but do not require a larger container.
A 20ft container can also be suitable for customers who want to keep their shipment together in one dedicated container from the UK to Liberia.
A 20ft container is a popular option for customers shipping a moderate volume of household goods, personal effects, commercial goods or other permitted cargo to Liberia.

A 20ft container can also be suitable for customers who want to keep their shipment together in one dedicated container from the UK to Liberia.
A 40ft container provides considerably more space than a 20ft container and is suitable for larger household removals, commercial shipments, business stock, equipment and other substantial consignments.
If you are unsure whether a 20ft or 40ft container is appropriate, we can assess the approximate volume and type of goods you are shipping and advise on the most suitable option.
FCL (Full Container Load) means that your shipment uses a dedicated container. This can be a suitable option when you have enough cargo to justify a full container or when you prefer your goods to remain together in one container.
FCL shipping can be arranged in 20ft or 40ft containers, subject to the type, volume and weight of your cargo and the available shipping service.
LCL (Less than Container Load) is designed for smaller shipments that do not require a full container. Your goods are consolidated with other customers’ cargo and shipped as part of a shared container.
LCL can be a cost-effective option for smaller consignments, household goods and commercial cargo when a full 20ft or 40ft container is not required. Pricing is normally based on the volume of your goods together with the applicable collection, freight and destination charges.
See our FCL vs LCL guide for a full comparison.

Our team advises on the optimal container type based on your shipment size, cargo type, and budget.
Many customers relocate or send goods to family in Monrovia. We specialise in shipping personal effects, household goods, furniture and appliances, and relocation cargo. Professional packing reduces damage risk and ensures safe arrival. See our tips for shipping personal and household effects for packing guidance.
Whether you choose door-to-port or port-to-port container shipping, your cargo is in professional hands from collection to delivery.
Sea freight remains significantly more economical for container shipments, particularly for household relocations and bulk commercial cargo.
