Sea Freight
Sea freight, also known as ocean freight, is a type of transportation that involves moving goods by sea via ships, vessels, or containers. It is a crucial part of international trade, carrying approximately 90% of global trade by volume.
Here are some key aspects of sea freight:
Benefits:
– Cost-effective for large volumes and heavy cargo
– Environmentally friendly compared to air freight
– Wide range of container sizes and types available
– Ideal for long-distance trade
Types of Sea Freight:
– Full Container Load (FCL): Shipping a full container (20′ or 40′)
– Less than Container Load (LCL): Sharing container space with other cargo
– Breakbulk: Shipping large or oversized cargo that doesn’t fit in containers
– Project Cargo: Handling complex, heavy-lift, or oversized shipments
