About Adelaide
Adelaide serves South Australia and handles a comparatively modest container volume alongside a substantial agricultural and wine export trade. Direct deep-sea calls are fewer than at Melbourne or Sydney, and much cargo transships domestically. Australian biosecurity inspection applies here as at every Australian port and is rigorous.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Adelaide — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 34–40 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Australia lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
