Ocean freight, also known as sea freight, refers to the shipment of goods by large ocean vessels. It accommodates a vast range of cargo types including containerized shipments, bulk cargo, oversized goods, and temperature-sensitive products through specialized containers.

Key components of ocean freight include:

• Full Container Load (FCL): Exclusive use of a container ideal for large shipments.

• Less than Container Load (LCL): Consolidated shipments combining loads from multiple customers, suitable for smaller quantities.

• Breakbulk and Bulk Cargo: For oversized or unpackaged cargo.

• Specialized containers such as refrigerated “reefers” for perishable goods.

What is Ocean Freight?

Cost Efficiency: Ocean freight is significantly more economical than air freight for large or heavy shipments.

• High Capacity: Capable of transporting massive quantities of goods in one shipment.

• Environmental Advantage: Produces lower greenhouse gas emissions per ton-kilometer compared to air freight.

• Global Reach: Access to worldwide ports and shipping routes.

• Flexibility: Accommodates diverse cargo types and sizes, including hazardous and oversized goods.
