Shipping to ports in Saudi Arabia, including Dammam and Dhuba, can vary in transit time. If you choose air freight, your goods can arrive within 3-7 working days. On the other hand, if you opt for sea freight, it may take up to 4 weeks for your containers to reach their final destination. Please note that these timeframes are approximate and may be subject to external factors beyond our control.
Container freight rates for shipping from the UK to Saudi Arabia can be influenced by various factors, including the quantity of cargo, the type of goods being shipped, weight considerations, and whether you opt for door-to-door or port-to-port service. As a rough estimate, for a full container load, rates may range from £1950 to £2950. Additionally, for 1 cubic meter (CBM) of cargo, rates may vary from £165 to £290. Please bear in mind that these figures are approximate and actual costs may differ based on specific details and prevailing market conditions.
You have the flexibility to ship a wide range of items, spanning from small electronic devices and clothing to larger items like furniture and even automobiles, in a container from the UK to Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, it is crucial to select the appropriate container type and be aware of any specific limitations or prerequisites associated with your chosen cargo method, whether it be air freight or sea freight.
At British Freight, we provide both air and sea freight services, each with its own set of advantages and considerations. Sea freight typically offers lower shipping costs to Saudi Arabia, though it does entail a longer transit time compared to air cargo. On the other hand, air freight is faster, but may not be suitable for exceptionally heavy or bulky items.
If you’re uncertain about which option to choose, our team can offer you quotes for both air and sea freight when you submit an inquiry. Additionally, we’re available to provide guidance on which mode of transportation aligns best with your specific shipping requirements.
