About Incheon
Incheon is the gateway for Seoul and the northwest of the country, sitting on the Yellow Sea coast with a very large tidal range that requires lock gates to hold water levels at the berths. That constrains vessel movements to tidal windows. For cargo bound for the capital region it removes the long road leg from Busan.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Incheon — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 31–37 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
