What is Ocean freight?
Ocean freight shipping is the method of transporting containerised cargo loaded onto vessels by ocean. Over 90% of all the world’s trade is carried by ocean transportation. If you want to ship your freight around the world, ocean transport is the most convenient option.
As a general rule, shipments weighing more than 100kg – or consisting of multiple cartons – will be sent by ocean transport. The containers are designed and built for intermodal freight transport. That means the containers can be used across various transportation modes – from ship to rail to truck – without unloading and reloading the cargo from the container.
