Sea freight

Sea freight, also known as ocean freight, is the transportation of goods by sea using ships or vessels. It is a cost-effective and efficient mode of transportation for large quantities of goods over long distances.

Sea freight involves the shipment of various types of cargo, including containers, bulk cargo, and breakbulk cargo. Containers are the most common form of sea freight, and they come in standardized sizes, such as 20-foot, 40-foot, and 45-foot containers. Bulk cargo, on the other hand, includes commodities such as grains, coal, and ores that are shipped in large quantities without containers. Breakbulk cargo includes goods that are too large or too heavy to be transported in standard containers, such as machinery, vehicles, and construction equipment.

Sea freight can be organized through a freight forwarder or directly with a shipping line. The cost of sea freight depends on several factors, including the origin and destination of the shipment, the type and quantity of goods being shipped, and the shipping service selected.

Sea freight is often used for international trade, as it provides access to global markets and enables businesses to transport large quantities of goods over long distances at a lower cost than air freight. However, sea freight is typically slower than other modes of transportation, and delivery times can vary depending on the destination and the shipping service
