SEA CARGO

Sea freight is a key part of global trade and logistics. It's a cost-effective way to move large quantities of goods over long distances, especially for bulky or heavy items. Sea freight is often preferred for transporting non-perishable goods. 

Here are some things to know about sea freight, How it works!
Goods are packed into containers and loaded onto a cargo ship. A typical cargo ship can carry up to 18,000 containers. 

Types of sea freight

Full container load (FCL): The shipper purchases one or more full containers 

Less than container load (LCL): The shipper shares a container with other people because they don't have enough goods to fill a full container 

Roll on roll off (RORO): The shipper's vehicle drives onto the ship and then drives off the other end 

Dry bulk shipping: The shipper deposits specific items into the hold of the ship instead of traveling in a container
