About HGL Oceania
HGL Oceania is a full-service freight and logistics business operating across New Zealand and Australia for over 30 years. We manage ocean freight, air freight, road cartage, customs clearance, warehousing, and project logistics -in-house, across both countries, connected to Hemisphere Freight’s global network.
Freight and logistics specialists, ingrained in the industry.
HGL Oceania are freight and logistics specialists with over 30 years of industry experience. Ocean, air, road, customs, and warehousing—every service handled in-house, bya team that has worked through virtually every freight challenge Oceania has to offer. With access to a worldwide network spanning 900+ destinations, we bring genuine international capability to every movement we manage.
We live and breathe this work. From routine containerised freight to the most complex, time-critical, or sensitive movements—our team approaches every job with the same obsession: find the right solution and own the outcome. The problems others find difficult are the ones we’re drawn to.
The relationships we build with clients matter as much as the freight we move. We take the time to understand how your business works, where the pressure points are, and what you actually need—so we can be a genuine logistics partner rather than just another contact in your supply chain.

Delivering sustainability as standard.
Operating sustainably and protecting the environment matters to us. We run paper-lite wherever possible, make deliberate choices to reduce our carbon footprint, and hold our logistics partners to the same standard.
Carbon emissions in the freight industry are a global concern—one we take seriously. We work with transport and operations partners who adhere to emissions standards, and we actively look for ways to reduce the environmental impact of the movements we manage.
We’re always looking at how technology, partner selection, and operational practice can make what we do more sustainable—for our clients, for the industry, and for Oceania.
One team. Every service.
