General Cargo

General Cargo

General cargo and essential supplies are the centrepiece of Sea Swift’s services. Providing general cargo in some of the most remote, wild, yet pristine parts of Australia often presents a unique challenge. The monsoon season restricts access to many islands in the Tiwi and Torres Strait for air freight and often sea freight. Therefore, the goods delivered by Sea Swift are the lifeblood of many communities.

Sea Swift operates on a schedule, accounting for all communities that rely on sea freight for vital supplies up and down the east coast of Australia, through the Torres Strait and Cape York Peninsula, and across the Northern Territory.

Our purpose-built fleet allows us to deliver a vast variety of:

  • General goods
  • Frozen or refrigerated perishable goods and food
  • Trucks and other vehicles, including domestic cars and boats
  • Earthmoving equipment and heavy duty mining vehicles
  • Building and construction material, and much more.


Sea Swift also operates numerous freight and distribution centres allowing all kinds of freight to be distributed to the correct location and collected by the customer in an efficient way. Sea Swift combines frequent of voyages, reliable schedules, refrigerated depot facilities, and a diverse fleet and land-based logistical equipment to create a complete supply chain for organisations requiring a sea freight solution and a ‘last mile’ service in remote Northern Australia.
