Air & Ocean Shipping Services

Whether you’re moving raw materials into Australia or taking on the world by exporting, your supply chain starts somewhere in the Mainfreight world. Our local team can ease your international shipping worries by transitioning your products through ports and airports to ensure your products are in the hands of your customers when you need them to be.

Our comprehensive global network avoids 3rd party involvement and ensures a local contact at each point of the supply chain. Our branch network objective is to reduce the time your team may spend on managing freight movements.
