About Miami
Miami is the principal US gateway for Latin America and the Caribbean, and a great deal of what moves through it is transshipment rather than local cargo. It sits immediately beside the city, so inland trucking distances at the port end are short. Vessel size is constrained relative to the deep-water Atlantic ports.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Miami — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 14–20 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider United States lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
