FAQ’s

What is sea freight and how does it work?
Sea freight is a method of transporting goods and cargo by ship, typically on large container vessels. It involves the loading of the cargo onto a vessel at the port of origin, the transportation of the cargo across the ocean, and the unloading of the cargo at the port of destination.
What types of cargo can be shipped by sea freight?
Sea freight can be used to ship a wide variety of cargo, including dry cargo (such as containers filled with manufactured goods), liquid cargo (such as oil or chemicals), and refrigerated cargo (such as perishable food items).
How long does sea freight take?
The transit time for sea freight depends on the distance between the port of origin and the port of destination, as well as the type of vessel being used. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for sea freight to be delivered.
Is sea freight a cost-effective option for shipping cargo?
Sea freight is generally considered to be a more cost-effective option for shipping large quantities of cargo, as it is typically less expensive than air freight. However, it may not be the best option for shipping time-sensitive or perishable cargo, as the transit time is usually longer than with air freight.
How do I book a sea freight shipment?
To book a sea freight shipment, you will need to find a freight forwarder or shipping company that offers sea freight services. You will need to provide them with details about the cargo you wish to ship, including the type of cargo, the weight and dimensions of the cargo, and the port of origin and destination. The freight forwarder or shipping company will then provide you with a quote and help you with the necessary documentation and customs clearance for your shipment.
