At STU, we remain committed to providing transparent, competitive, and reliable logistics solutions for the European market. To better align with current operational realities and customer needs, we are implementing a series of updates to our Europe Line Service, effective August 6, 2026.
Please find the key adjustments below:
1. Ocean Freight Rate Fine-Tuning
Our ocean freight rates are undergoing a fine-tuning adjustment, with both upward and downward revisions across specific trade lanes. These changes reflect current market conditions, carrier costs, and operational efficiencies. We continue to offer highly competitive pricing while maintaining service excellence.
2. New Standalone Pricing for Northern Ireland
We are pleased to introduce independent, dedicated pricing for shipments to Northern Ireland. Previously grouped with broader UK or Ireland tariffs, Northern Ireland now benefits from its own rate structure, ensuring greater transparency and more accurate cost control for our customers shipping to this region.
3. Surcharge Adjustments on Selected Products
We have revised surcharges on certain product categories to better reflect handling requirements and operational costs. These adjustments are limited to specific items and are designed to improve service reliability for specialized cargo.
4. Updated Heavy Cargo Ratio Discount
We have optimized our heavy-cargo ratio discount structure, offering improved cost efficiency for consolidated shipments with higher weight-to-volume ratios. This update makes it even more economical to ship dense, heavy items through our network.
STU specializes in oversized and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo shipping to Europe. Our core services include:
LCL (Less than Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load) for oversized shipments
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) and DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) – fully door-to-door
Dual customs clearance – we handle both export and import formalities
Our primary cargo focus:
Excavators & construction machinery
Forklifts & industrial equipment
Heavy industrial machines & parts
Soundproof booths / quiet rooms
Gazebos, pergolas & outdoor structures
Furniture & home décor items
Whether you are shipping a single oversized piece or a full container load of heavy machinery, our dedicated Europe team ensures seamless transit, transparent communication, and reliable delivery to any address across the European continent – including EU member states, the UK, and now with specific coverage for Northern Ireland.
