Clients benefit from a secure and weather-protected transport method that ensures goods remain intact throughout the journey. Containers are loaded at major Australian ports or delivered directly to client premises for convenient packing.

A 20ft container is typically suitable for small-to-medium shipments, relocations, or compact machinery. With sufficient space for furniture, boxed items, personal effects, and small vehicles, it offers an economical choice for cost-conscious shippers. A 40ft container is ideal for large-volume consignments or commercial operations that require additional capacity. These containers are often used to transport industrial equipment, retail inventory, and larger household relocations. CargoMaster provides guidance to help clients choose the most appropriate size.

CargoMaster ensures each container is professionally handled from dispatch to final delivery at Muara Port. Our team coordinates crane lifting, trucking, port logistics, and vessel loading to maintain full security throughout the process. Containers are sealed with high-security bolt seals before departure to ensure goods remain protected during transit.

Alternatively, clients can choose to load their container at one of our designated freight yards. Once packing is complete, we arrange for secure sealing and transport to the nearest Australian port for dispatch to Muara Port in Brunei. This flexible approach offers cost savings compared to traditional relocation services.

Self-pack containers are ideal for household goods, personal effects, furniture, boxes, tools, equipment, and other goods that clients prefer to handle themselves. Many customers choose this option because it offers full control over packing and inventory while avoiding labour charges associated with professional packers. CargoMaster provides detailed packing guidelines to ensure goods are placed securely, allowing them to travel safely across international waters.

Self-pack containers are available in both 20ft and 40ft sizes, enabling clients to choose the space that best suits their needs.

Handling labels

In addition to hazard labels, trained staff must attach handling labels where needed. Staff must use these 4 handling labels with the appropriate hazard labels:

Cargo aircraft only

This label is used to show that the load cannot be carried on a passenger aircraft.

Cyrogenics

This label is used on liquefied gases, such as the ones in Class 2.

This way up

This label ensures a load is placed the correct way up and can be used for non-dangerous goods.

Magnetised material

This label ensures that the load is kept away from the aircraft compass detector unit while being loaded and unloaded.
