We Ensure Best Service
Sea freight service refers to the transportation of goods via ocean vessels from one port to another. It is a popular and cost-effective mode of transportation for bulky, heavy or non-perishable goods that are not time-sensitive.
The sea freight service typically involves several parties, including the shipper (sender of the goods), the consignee (recipient of the goods), the freight forwarder (arranges the logistics), the carrier (provides the vessel), and the port authorities (oversee the loading and unloading of cargo).
The process of sea freight service begins with the shipper booking space on a vessel with a carrier or a freight forwarder. The shipper then delivers the cargo to the port for loading onto the vessel. The carrier or the freight forwarder handles the paperwork, such as bills of lading, customs declarations, and insurance documentation. The cargo is then transported across the ocean to the destination port, where it is unloaded and cleared through customs.
Sea freight service has several advantages, including its ability to handle large quantities of cargo, its cost-effectiveness compared to other modes of transportation, and its availability to most parts of the world. However, it is a slower mode of transportation compared to air or land transportation, and it is not suitable for perishable or time-sensitive goods.
