Sea corridor

Sea cargo to the Philippines flies, for now.

We do not run the Spain–Philippines sea corridor. What we do run is air cargo of boxes from Barcelona, arriving in 7–14 days instead of 60–80 days.

01The short answer

No, we don't ship by sea yet.

Acacia Cargo does not currently run sea cargo between Spain and the Philippines. It does run air cargo of boxes from Barcelona, with pickup across Europe and delivery to the recipient's address in the Philippines in 7–14 days. A balikbayan by sea takes 60–80 days, and we do not offer it. If you specifically need sea freight, leave us your contact: we will only write if we open the corridor.

02What we do run

The same box, two months earlier.

It is the shipment you came for —your box, to your family's door— by another route.

We collect wherever you are

Across Europe. In Barcelona you can also drop it off at the office.

Closed price before we collect

Tell us what you're sending and we close it on WhatsApp. No surprises after.

Tracking to the door

The transit times are the ones our own air cargo page publishes. The sea figure is the market's, not an offer of ours.

04Why not

Opening it halfway would be worse than not opening it.

A container to the Philippines needs two things we don't have yet: sustained volume so it sails on a regular schedule, and a partner at destination who clears customs and delivers to the provinces. Without both, the box ships cheap and then sits — and a 60-to-80-day shipment that also runs late isn't a service, it's a problem with an invoice attached. We don't give a date because we don't have one.

SEA FREIGHT

Were you looking for sea freight?

We don't do it today. We only run air, and we'd rather say so plainly before you waste your time: if you need sea freight, we're not your provider right now. We do want to know you looked for it — that's what will tell us whether opening it ever makes sense.

We only use it to tell you about this. No newsletter, no third parties.

I'd rather tell you on WhatsApp
06Frequently asked

What people looking for sea freight usually ask.

We don't know, which is why we promise no date. What decides it is demand — that's why the waiting list above exists and why we read it.

60–80 days door to door is the market norm, and it stretches in peak season and with customs clearance at destination. Our air service is 7–14 days.

It costs more per kilo, yes. How much depends on what you send and what it weighs, and we close it on WhatsApp before we collect anything. For a family box the gap usually matters less than people expect; for a full move, far more.

Packaged, sealed food yes. Electronics too, under the usual battery rules. We go through it with you before closing the shipment.

Yes, we collect across Europe. In Barcelona you can also bring the box to the office if that suits you better.
