Pros of Ocean Freight Service

Higher shipping capacity
Sea freight is perfect for bulky shipments. Other shipping options are only viable for lighter products that are not being shipped in bulk.

Cheaper costs
Ocean freight is much cheaper than other options, costing just 50 cents per kg. Compare this to standard air freight which costs roughly $4 per kg and express air freight, which costs $6 per kg.

Fewer restrictions
Shipping by air freight is subject to several restrictions relating to the type of goods you can ship. For instance, you cannot ship flammable products like perfumes or biochemical products like some medicines on air freight. There are fewer restrictions for shipping by sea.

Lower carbon footprint
Ocean freight produces relatively lower emissions than air freight. New regulations introduced by the International Maritime Organization will reduce these emissions even further.
