Ocean Freight Shipping: What You Need to Know

Ocean freight is the most cost-effective method for shipping large volumes of goods across international waters. It involves transporting cargo via container ships, making it ideal for bulky, heavy, or non-urgent shipments. Ocean freight offers both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less Than Container Load (LCL) options, depending on your shipment size.

• Cost-Effective: Ocean freight is more affordable for large shipments compared to air freight.
• Large Capacity: Suitable for bulky, heavy, or high-volume cargo.
• Global Reach: Provides access to ports worldwide, making it perfect for international shipping.

• Transit Time: Ocean freight takes longer than air freight, typically ranging from 7 to 30 days depending on the route.
• Cost Factors: Costs are based on cargo weight, size, destination, and container type (FCL or LCL).
• Customs Clearance: Ensure all documentation is in order to avoid delays at customs and port handling.
• Packaging and Containerization: Proper packaging is essential to protect goods during transit, especially for ocean freight’s longer journey.

• Full Container Load (FCL): Best for large shipments or when you need exclusive use of a container. Typically more cost-effective for shipments over 15 cubic meters.
• Less Than Container Load (LCL): Ideal for smaller shipments that don’t require a full container. Your cargo shares space with other shipments, which can reduce costs.
