Loadstar Unity

Loadstar Unity: international freight forwarding from the UK to Europe and beyond

Loadstar Unity is a freight forwarding company that arranges international transport across the UK, Europe and worldwide. Its core activity covers UK–EU freight in both directions, intra-European transport, road, air and sea freight, and customs clearance. The company presents itself as a single point of contact for either individual routes or an entire logistics operation, working alongside a client's team or acting as an outsourced logistics department with 24/7 support.

The operation is built around regular shipments as well as one-off consignments. For clients with weekly or monthly volumes, Loadstar Unity adapts to established routes, volumes and collection schedules so that requirements do not need to be repeated each time.

Road freight across Europe and beyond the EU

Road transport is one of the company's main service lines. It arranges cross-border road freight between European countries, including for UK-based businesses, and handles UK–Europe movements in both directions with FTL, LTL and groupage options ranging from a few pallets to full truckloads.

The road freight offer extends to countries outside the EU, such as Ukraine, Türkiye and Switzerland, where Loadstar Unity coordinates customs and transit requirements. The company also arranges road freight within Europe for routes such as Germany–France or Poland–Italy.

In terms of cargo types, the company lists general and industrial goods, building materials, furniture, machinery, automotive parts and other commercial freight. It also handles oversized, heavy and ADR cargo, with specialised heavy haulage and out-of-gauge transport for oversized machinery, industrial equipment and project cargo across Europe and Asia, up to 120 tonnes.

• FTL full truckload transport using curtain-sided trailers for machinery, industrial equipment, construction materials, furniture and interior design goods, vehicles, automotive parts, chemicals, solar panels and other commercial cargo.
• Groupage and part loads (LTL) from 100 kg, using available truck capacity with consolidation options when needed.
• Temperature-controlled transport for goods requiring controlled conditions throughout transit.
• ADR dangerous goods classes 1–9, including industrial chemicals, subject to cargo classification and route requirements.
• Tankers with capacities from 25,000 to 32,000 litres.

Sea freight: FCL, LCL and global port coverage

Loadstar Unity's sea freight service operates through major global ports. The company lists coverage in the UK, Europe (including Spain, Romania, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Latvia and Lithuania), China, Japan, Turkey, Korea, Israel, the UAE, Malaysia, India and the Americas.

Container services include 20ft, 40ft and HQ containers, both standard and reefer, worldwide. Oversized and non-standard cargo can be shipped in Open Tops, Flat racks and RoRo vessels. The company also offers LCL services in major global ports, citing China (Shanghai and Ningbo) and Korea as examples, and arranges LCL sea freight from China for clients who do not have enough cargo for a full container, with onward delivery to the UK or Europe.

Transit and export documentation is processed within two hours, according to the company.

Air freight and multimodal solutions

The air freight service covers shipments from 1 kg to 120 tonnes, with delivery times of 3 to 10 days. Loadstar Unity arranges regular flights and charters through UK airports including London Heathrow, East Midlands, London Stansted and Manchester, as well as European airports such as Warsaw and Frankfurt am Main. The company also lists China (Shanghai and Beijing), Hong Kong, Korea (Seoul), the Middle East (UAE and others), South America (Paraguay, Brazil and Mexico), North America (US and Canadian airports) and Africa.

Air freight handling includes export declarations, certificates and air waybills.

For multimodal and intermodal transport, Loadstar Unity offers a rail solution from China to Poland with onward road delivery to destinations in Europe, the UK or Ukraine. Pricing is available from 1 cubic metre to 68 cubic metres, with delivery times starting from 20 days. The company frames this option as an alternative for cargo that is too slow by sea and too expensive by air.

Customs clearance, warehousing and additional services

Beyond transport, Loadstar Unity coordinates customs clearance and transit procedures with customs agents for imports and exports through the UK, EU or Ukraine, including temporary admission when required. It also provides support for import and export documentation.

The company works with five partner warehouses in key European locations: Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine. From these warehouses it offers last-mile and warehouse-to-buyer delivery, as well as door-to-door multimodal transport coordinating road, rail, sea and air freight.

Other services listed include cargo insurance with insurers and discount programmes, logistics consulting and custom solutions to optimise supply chains, and sustainable logistics options such as green transport, route optimisation and CO₂ reduction strategies.

Business clients and operating model

Loadstar Unity positions its service for both small and medium-sized businesses and large companies. For SMEs it presents a full-service transport and freight forwarding offer that functions as an outsourced logistics department, described as cost-effective and scalable. For large businesses it offers dedicated route management with on-time and secure delivery, integrated with existing supply chain operations.

The company states that management has more than 10 years of logistics experience and that it holds £500,000 freight forwarder's liability insurance. It also emphasises a single point of contact and a custom approach to each shipment based on cargo specifics, market and timelines.
