Containerised cargo
When the cargo approaches a full container or loading and packaging control are important.
Sea freight
A sea-freight plan starts with the cargo and its route
Origin and destination ports, volume and weight, cargo type, cargo-ready date and the choice between containerised or LCL service are considered together. The decision is not based on an opening price alone: transhipments, indicative timing and cargo constraints also matter.
When is sea freight a stronger fit?
Less-than-container load
For shipments that do not fill a container and may be consolidated with other cargo.
Volume or flexible timing
For cargo without air-freight urgency where a sea lane can be reviewed for access and schedule.
