Frequently Asked Questions
Sea freight is the process of transporting goods over long distances through the use of cargo ships. It is considered the most effective way to move large volumes of goods overseas.
FCL and LCL are terms for sea freight. FCL (full container load) is for shipments that fill a whole container, whilst LCL (less than container load) stands for shipments that share space in a container with other shipments.
Sea freight is usually much cheaper than the cost of air freight, as such it is used more often when is comes to handling large volumes of cargo. Sea freight also offers fewer restrictions when it comes to the size and weight of cargo.
The cost of sea freight is determined by many factors including the weight, size, type, origin, destination and port fees. Contact our team for a quote.
