Connecting the Cook Islands to the world with reliable freight services backed by our owned Pacific vessel capacity and Transam people on the ground in Rarotonga.
Presence
Our Rarotonga office gives customers direct access to Transam people on the ground who understand the practical realities of freight into and out of the Cook Islands. Our local team coordinates movements through Rarotonga and helps manage the additional planning needed for outer island connections.
Freight for the Cook Islands is primarily staged through our regional Pacific facilities, with LCL consolidation available for cost-effective movement of smaller consignments alongside full container loads. Our Rarotonga team helps connect those regional movements with what needs to happen locally.
Rarotonga International Airport and the port of Avatiu are the Cook Islands’ primary freight gateways. Outer island connections vary significantly by island, and we coordinate the routing and timing for deliveries beyond Rarotonga.
Cook Islands customs requirements and biosecurity rules, particularly around agricultural goods and food, require careful documentation. Our team coordinates the documentation and local requirements around each movement, bringing in the appropriate customs and specialist support where required.
