Container Shipping
Container Services for New Zealand & Overseas

Unlike some other shipping and freight companies, Freightstar owns its own fleet of containers. This means Freightstar can offer its customers greater flexibility, better costs and better choice. Containers, whether LCL (less than container load) or FCL (full container load), provide customers with the most cost-effective, safest and easiest way to load, store and move freight.

• One container per customer means maximum security and minimal handling of goods
• Containers available in variety of sizes (33, 37, 38 and 66 cbm)
• Most economic shipping method - coastal shipping is cheaper than air, road or rail
• Most environmentally-friendly method of shipping using less fuel, 'piggybacking' ships already en route and requiring less infrastructure maintenance

Fragile Cargo

Fragile cargo can also be moved by container (depending on its size), as our newest containers are built to the highest industry specification and offer the best possible protection for goods. Built from high strength, corrosion resistant steel they have:

• Plywood-lined interior walls
• Tie rails on the walls and roof
• Security lock-boxes
• Additional air vents to prevent condensation and protect the shipment from damp.

Freightstar provides a fast, no-fuss container shipping service at the best available rates.
