Sea freight is a method of transporting large stores of goods via cargo ships. They can be packed in containers or in the hold of a ship, but the first method is more effective and efficient. A full-container ship is able to carry 18 thousand 20ft containers to their destination country. Needless to say that sea freight is a cost-efficient way to deliver large stores of a product.
The «GR8 Logistics» Company Group provides multiple services on sea freight. We’ve been working in the global logistics market for more than 10 years and provide professional services. We guarantee the safety condition of cargo and honoring of treaties.
Fact: the cost of shipping is much lower for shot lots. This is due to the fact that a transport and logistics company takes several orders from customers at once and groups them into a one-way flow, so as to optimize freight costs.
WHY CHOOSE US?
ADVANTAGES OF SEA FREIGHT
Despite its slow speed, sea freight is a very popular method of transportation. Other methods (for example, air freight) can deliver cargo in 2‒3 days, while sea freight might take a month or even more. The demand for sea transportation is induced by the lowest costs in comparison to air, road, and rail. It is very important for many business owners who want to reduce their freight costs.
A variety of cargo ships allows for transporting various types of products, without constraints on size, volume, and weight. International shipping is carried out in 20ft and 40ft reusable containers, which are designed to be easily moved from one mode of transport to another without unloading and reloading. So, the advantages of sea freight are:
- Low cost in comparison to other methods of transportation
- Opportunity to ship heavy, bulky, oversized items without incurring enormous costs
- Great importance for foreign trade, delivery from one continent to another
- Minimal risks and safety, thanks to the modern design of the ships and containers
- No restrictions as to size, space, weight, and volume of goods.
