🌊 What Is Sea Freight?

Sea freight involves transporting goods by cargo ships across international waters. Shipments are typically organized in containers (20ft, 40ft, or specialized types) and can be tailored depending on the shipment size:

  • FCL (Full Container Load): A dedicated container for one customer’s goods.

  • LCL (Less-than-Container Load): Shared container space with other shippers, ideal for smaller loads.

  • Breakbulk & Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off): For oversized cargo, vehicles, or machinery that cannot fit into containers.
