Throughout history, the seas have been fundamental to people across the world as a means of transportation. The two most common international transport methods are Sea freight and air freight.

When you need to ship automobiles, heavy machinery, military equipment, helicopters, cranes, and stuff like these, you must take extra advanced measurements so that these types of cargo should reach their destinations with extra care and no damage.

Therefore, we use Sea Freight, which is not just an easy way to pack any type of cargo but is also much safer than air transportation.

Are you looking to grow your business with sea freight? Then you’re in the right place; our services are from customs clearance brokerage to warehousing and logistics.  

What is the meaning of sea freight?

Shipping by sea freight is an economical way to send products across the seas. It’s also an excellent option for businesses that need to move large quantities of goods quickly.

Most items are allowed, while others are under restrictions. 

How much does sea freight cost?

There are basic freight charges for moving containers from one location to another worldwide.

Why has sea freight increased in 2021?

Trade imbalances are the primary cause of significant increases in sea freight rates. When the COVID-19 erupted, the world suffered from halted production, and countries all over the world underwent lockdowns and then reopened at different times. It resulted in a mismatch between supply and demand for goods.

When will sea freight prices go down?

We expect Freight rates to be corrected and reduced by 30-40 percent in 2023. The fact that freight rates are currently stable is good news, particularly for importers. However, it is doubtful that they will return to their 2019 levels.
