Sea freight is the most widely used method for transporting goods internationally. It is the backbone of global trade, moving more than 80% of the world’s cargo. For businesses shipping large volumes or heavy goods, sea freight offers a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective solution.
At Aurex Delivery Services, we specialize in providing seamless sea freight services that connect businesses to major ports worldwide. Whether you’re shipping bulk raw materials, consumer goods, or industrial equipment, our sea freight solutions are designed to meet your needs with efficiency and security.
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.
Sea freight is the most economical choice for large and heavy shipments, offering lower costs per unit compared to air or land transport.
Ships can carry massive loads, making it ideal for raw materials, bulk commodities, machinery, and industrial goods.
With extensive shipping routes, sea freight connects nearly every country, supporting businesses in accessing international markets.
From perishable goods in refrigerated containers to hazardous materials, sea freight supports a wide range of cargo types.
Compared to air freight, sea shipping has a lower carbon footprint, aligning with sustainability goals.

Vehicles and auto parts
