Cargo Power Network is proud to congratulate our UK member Oceanside Logistics Ltd on officially achieving Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status, one of the most respected customs accreditations in global trade.
Awarded by HMRC, AEO status confirms that a business operates with robust customs procedures, secure supply chains and a proven commitment to compliance. For a freight forwarder, it is a clear signal to shippers and overseas partners: your cargo is in safe, trusted and capable hands.
Founded in 2011 and based in Southampton, Oceanside Logistics is a family-owned, fast-growing freight forwarder in the UK handling sea, air, European road and courier shipments for both import and export.
Their core services include:
Ocean freight import and export via all UK ports
FCL haulage from all UK ports
Shunt, devanning and storage in Southampton and Felixstowe
Express pallet distribution
With service contracts across major shipping lines and airlines, Oceanside combines competitive rates with a strong focus on personal relationships, an approach that fits perfectly with the CPN philosophy.
The Authorised Economic Operator programme is an internationally recognised standard, based on the World Customs Organization’s SAFE Framework. Businesses must pass a detailed HMRC audit covering customs compliance, record-keeping, financial solvency and supply chain security before they are approved.
For customers and partners, working with an AEO-certified freight forwarder can mean:
Fewer physical and documentary customs checks, reducing delays
Priority treatment when cargo is selected for inspection
Greater supply chain security, with vetted processes from origin to destination
International recognition through mutual recognition agreements between customs authorities
Lower compliance risk for shippers who rely on their forwarder’s processes
In short, AEO status turns compliance into a competitive advantage, both for the forwarder and for every business that ships with them.
For the Cargo Power Network community, Oceanside’s achievement strengthens our UK coverage. Members handling cargo to or from the United Kingdom now have a trusted, AEO-accredited partner on the ground in Southampton, one of the UK’s busiest container gateways.
Whether you’re moving FCL containers, need reliable UK customs clearance, or require haulage and storage near Southampton or Felixstowe, Oceanside Logistics is ready to support your shipments.

On behalf of the entire Cargo Power Network family: congratulations, Oceanside!
Who awards AEO status in the UK?
In the United Kingdom, AEO status is granted by HMRC (His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) following a detailed compliance and security audit.
Is AEO status recognised outside the UK?
Yes. AEO is based on an international framework, and the UK has mutual recognition agreements with several trading partners, so the benefits can extend beyond UK borders.
Why should shippers choose an AEO-certified freight forwarder?
An AEO forwarder has proven its customs procedures and security standards to the authorities, which typically means smoother clearance, fewer delays and lower compliance risk.
