Freight services to one of the Pacific’s most remote nations, connecting Tuvalu to the world with practical island logistics expertise and a network built for the region’s unique challenges.
Presence
Tuvalu’s remoteness and limited infrastructure require a freight partner with real Pacific experience. Our directly employed team lives and works in Funafuti, giving customers Transam people on the ground who understand local port operations, customs requirements, and the practical realities of moving freight in and out of Tuvalu. They are backed by our wider Pacific network and regional freight relationships.
Cargo for Tuvalu is coordinated through our Fiji hub, which serves as a key staging point for Pacific island freight. LCL consolidation ensures smaller consignments can be grouped with other cargo where appropriate, helping make limited freight connections work more efficiently.
Funafuti International Airport and the port of Funafuti are Tuvalu’s only freight entry points. Sea freight services are infrequent and require precise planning. We coordinate cargo movements through Funafuti Airport for urgent and perishable cargo.
Tuvalu Customs manages all imports and exports, with specific controls on food, chemicals, and restricted goods. Our team coordinates the documentation and local requirements around each movement, helping identify issues before cargo departs, and bringing in the appropriate expertise where needed.
