Reliable freight transport from Sweden to Australia

[Hantor]

I’m planning to move my woodworking shop from Gothenburg to Brisbane, since I’m moving there permanently to be with my son. My machines are pretty finicky—they have a lot of cast-iron parts that can quickly rust from the salt air if they’re not packed properly. I’ve already looked into a few moving companies, but they mostly operate within Europe, and such a long-distance route is new territory for many of them.

It’s important to me that the cargo be securely fastened inside the container, since it’s going halfway around the world and there’s bound to be some rocking. Right now, I’m trying to figure out whether I should book a dedicated container or if it’s better to find space in a consolidated shipment for the machines, which weigh a couple of tons. Has anyone shipped heavy equipment or machinery from Sweden to Australia?
