Sea freight
The most used approach of transport in the international freight industry. You can ship your goods through ports all over the world in LCL (Groupage) or FCL (Full Container).
Frequent Questions about Sea Freight
How much sea freight may cost?
The first thing to consider while choosing sea freight is the mean, whether in groupage (LCL) or full container (FCL). If you choose groupage you have to consider consolidation, and deconsolidation operations at the departure and destination terminal fees.
For both solutions, you will have to pay fixed fees with shipping costs, customs clearance costs, packaging …
How to choose between maritime groupage (LCL) and full container (FCL)?
When you choose sea freight, you can choose a groupage solution (LCL) where your cargo will be stored with other cargoes in the same container. In most cases, we recommend this method if your merchandise does not exceed 14/15 cubic meters. Also, if you need more than 15 cubic meters of container storage, we recommend that you reserve a full 20ft container. In order to ensure profitability, this method (FCL) is the best, even if the container will be only half full of its capacity of 33 cubic meters.
At what volume does sea freight become interesting?
Despite its slowness, sea freight will be more profitable than the other freight solutions starting from 2 cubic meters. You also have the option of choosing maritime groupage (LCL) or reserving a full container (FCL).
What are the advantages of sea freight?
Lacking of speed, ocean freight does not always seem like the ideal solution, but the cost savings benefits can change your mind. As well as flexibility in shipping voluminous cargo around the world. With a container port network in all the coastal countries of the world, this method will allow you to reach your destination safely.
Air freight
Simply, it is the fastest freight method available on the market. Ship your products to all the corners of the world in just a few days! If you send a small volume (less than 2 m³), the plane will also be the cheapest way.
Frequent Questions about Air Freight
When does air freight become attractive?
If you are looking to reach your destination within few days, air freight is the best solution for you with the speed of shipment. Air freight is also the most cost-effective solution for shipping small cargoes (typically less than 1.5 cubic meters) unlike large volumes, air freight can be very expensive.
