What Is Ocean Freight Shipping?
Ocean freight transport is the shipping of goods by sea via shipping containers.
Ocean freight shipping is the most common mode of transport that importers and exporters use. In fact, a full 90% of everything is shipped by ocean freight and sea freight. The other international freight transport modes (courier, standard air freight, express air freight) are all faster, but they are also more expensive. Smaller shipments, and products with a high value, generally go by these other modes.
At its core, ocean freight is a conduit for connection. It bridges the geographical gaps between distant lands, enabling the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures.
For businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), ocean freight opens doors to international markets, allowing them to compete on a global scale. Ocean freight shipping gives you the benefits of worldwide capacity and reliable sailing times. The best part about it is it’s much more cost-effective than air freight for international shipments.
Ocean freight shipping is perfect for bulky shipments that are being sent over long distances.
You won’t have to worry about your shipment taking up too much space in the container because there’s no functional limit to how big it can be.
