🌊 What Is Sea Freight?

Sea freight involves the transportation of goods by cargo vessels across oceans and international waterways. Cargo is commonly shipped in standardized containers, including 20-foot and 40-foot containers, allowing for safe and organized global transportation.

Sea freight services are generally divided into the following categories:

FCL (Full Container Load)

A dedicated shipping container reserved exclusively for one customer’s cargo. Ideal for large shipments requiring maximum space and security.

LCL (Less-than-Container Load)

A cost-effective option where multiple shipments from different customers share container space. Suitable for smaller cargo volumes.

Breakbulk & Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off)

Specialized shipping methods used for oversized cargo, heavy machinery, construction equipment, and vehicles that cannot fit into standard containers.
