Sea freight from/to the USA

Shipping is critical to the worldwide flow of goods. Almost 95% of global trade is handled by sea. Maritime transport contributes for around 80% of intercontinental freight flows, totalling approximately 8 billion tons.

Sea transport refers to the shipping from one country to another in a sea container. Shipping has several advantages as it emits less CO2 than air and trucking, so it is environmentally friendly and probably slower, but cheaper than air transport. There are no constraints on the amount of goods that can be shipped by sea.

DocShipper offers the most common means of transportation. We provide all sorts of ships that are appropriate for the items to be delivered and ensure the lowest freight per ton.

Full container loads (FCL) and less than container loads (LCL) are the most popular types of transport.

  • When all items are carried in a single container owned by one individual, the FCL is used.
  • The LCL is for delivery of goods packed and shipped in a single container for multiple exporters or importers. 

Purchase and shipping decisions are influenced by commercial and inventory necessities, as well as several other considerations such as price and specific product. LCL, for instance, is suited for transporting little products, whereas FCL is ideal for transporting huge amounts of cargo.
