Sea Freight

We ship goods by sea with international coverage, from and to the port of destination right up to the consolidation depot.

International maritime shipments

Versatile and tailor-made Avion services.

Shipping by sea is a flexible and advantageous solution for those who entrust their cargo to Avion. The management of the service starts even before the goods leave, with our team taking care of everything from the booking of the container right up to collection and delivery, and, on request, fulfilment of administrative procedures on behalf of the customer. Optimized sea shipping results in significant savings and supports the business growth of our customers.

We organise the international sea shipping of various product categories, using operators with specialist skills in the maritime field and special equipment for each commodity.

Through partnerships with the leading international shipping companies, we offer personalised planning of ship-loads and transport via the main European and non-European commercial routes.

For the storage and deposit of containers arriving in Italy, Avion has its own reserved areas at the ports of Genoa, Venice and Cassano Magnago (Varese).
We take care of your goods until the end of their journey: while the procedures for distribution are finalized, the monitoring of the load remains under our full control.

Free Trade Zone (FTZ)

Passage to the free trade zone: shipping in a delimited area exempt from taxes and duties, with services for goods storage, trade, transshipment and re-export.

Door To Door Service

Shipments originating at the place of collection and ending on delivery of the goods at the final destination.

Special Equipment

Containers (High Cube, Open Top, Flat Rack, Reefer, Platform, Isotank and Flexitank solutions) for dangerous, oversized, perishable, temperature-controlled and pharmaceutical goods.
