The Importance of Ocean Freight
Ocean freight is the most common mode of cargo shipment. For centuries, the sea has been the primary passage for the movement of goods and continues to be so. Large ships can carry significant amounts of cargo and offer various transport modes such as container, bulk, break-bulk, or ro-ro. Goods are packed into containers, loaded onto a ship, and shipped to their destination country.
Shipping Options:
Less Than Container Load (LCL)
LCL shipping is ideal for customers sending small to medium-sized consignments by sea. This service consolidates customers' goods into a shipping container for onward shipping to the same destination. With LCL shipping, you are charged based on the W/M (weight or measure), meaning you only pay for the space occupied within the shipping container. LCL services offer competitive pricing, scheduled weekly sailings, prompt transit times, and global coverage.
Full Container Load (FCL)
FCL shipping is suitable if you have a large volume of cargo to be shipped. You get sole access to a container, which you own until the goods are delivered at the destination. This mode of container booking is ideal when you have substantial cargo. The flat rate for the container ensures your goods are accessible only to your supplier or customs.
Reefer Containers
For perishable cargo requiring a temperature-controlled atmosphere, reefer containers manage temperatures between -60 degrees and 30 degrees, ensuring safe transportation of your goods.
Ro-Ro (Roll-On/Roll-Off)
Ro-ro ships transport all types of vehicles to any point on the planet. These ships are designed to carry wheeled cargo such as cars, trucks, and trailers, which are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels.
