Ocean Freight
Ocean freight services involve the transportation of goods via cargo ships across oceans or large bodies of water. This type of freight service is typically used for international shipping and is one of the most common methods for transporting goods globally, especially for large, heavy, or bulk shipments.
Full Container Load (FCL): In this service, the shipper rents an entire container for their goods. FCL is typically used for larger shipments, as it allows for greater control over the cargo and may be more cost-effective when shipping large volumes.
Less-than-Container Load (LCL): For smaller shipments that do not require an entire container, LCL service allows shippers to share a container with other customers. This helps reduce shipping costs, but it may involve longer transit times due to additional handling and consolidating.
Key Benefits of Ocean Freight:
Cost-Effective for Large Volumes: Ocean freight is the most economical option for shipping large or bulky goods over long distances. It is typically much cheaper than air freight, especially for non-urgent shipments.
Capacity: Cargo ships have a large capacity, making it suitable for heavy, bulk, or oversized goods that may not be suitable for other transportation modes.
