The Advantages of Sea Freight Shipping
There are five main benefits to sea freight shipping:-
Economical
Ocean shipping offers the most competitive freight costs to shippers. It is often the most economical method of shipping, especially for large volumes.
Safe
Ships are designed to carry hazardous materials and dangerous cargo safely. We have an expert team dedicated to dangerous goods shipping – contact us to find out how we can help with your specialist sea freight shipment.
Environmentally Friendly
Sea freight shipping has a much lower carbon footprint when compared to air and many other forms of transport, making it the most environmentally friendly shipping method.
Efficient
No matter the size of the shipment, we can accommodate all shippers’ needs. Some sea freight companies might only offer ocean shipping for full container loads, but we can often group together smaller shipments (known as LCLs or Less than Container Loads) together to fill a container. This can help shippers to reduce costs.
Capable
Sea freight can handle all size of shipments, including particularly large, heavy, or bulky items. Whatever you need to ship, sea freight will be capable of transporting it.
How Does Sea Freight Work?
Sea freight shipping, also known as ocean freight, is the transportation of large quantities of products via cargo ships. The goods are packed into containers which are then loaded onto a vessel. They then set sail to their destination. Contact us to find out more about our sea freight services.
How Much Does Sea Freight Cost?
Our competitive international sea freight rates will be calculated on what you’re transporting and where it’s being transported to. You will either be charged for a full container load (FCL), or there may be an opportunity to group smaller shipments together to reduce costs. There will also usually be import duty and VAT to pay on your shipment. Request a sea freight quote for your shipment today.
