About Fremantle

Fremantle is the port for Perth and the whole of Western Australia, and being on the Indian Ocean side it is the shortest sea leg from Europe of the Australian ports. The inner harbour sits at the mouth of the Swan River and has draft limits that cap vessel size. Western Australia's isolation means almost everything for the state arrives here.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 3036 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
