Ocean freight shipping is the method of transporting containerized 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 100 kg—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.
