One of the biggest benefits of sea freight shipping is that it’s cost-effective, consider when utilized for long trips. Sea freight shipping allows you to send large quantities of goods at the same time at a cost significantly lower than moving via other logistics methods. Whether you’re using full container load (FCL) or less container load (LCL), either of these two ways makes the ocean freight far much cheaper than moving similar amounts of freight via air.
Thanks to the nowadays large volume of cargo on each ship, sea freight shipping has a smaller carbon footprint than other shipping methods. That’s a great option for companies looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Ocean freight shipping is a great option for heavy, large or bulky items since the weight doesn’t have as much impact on shipping as it does in other cross-ocean transportation methods, like air freight.
However, the biggest downfall of sea freight transportation is that it takes time. Imaging a giant carrier ship can’t cross an entire ocean in a couple of days as airplane can. The handling time of loading and unloading of the ship can tack on extra time to the journey as well.
Sea freight shipping is not a good choice for smaller quantities of goods, even if you plan to ship by LCL (less container load). It can be cost-prohibitive if the cargo volume is small. Instead, making air freight or courier services is more efficient and likely faster.
The duration of ocean freight shipping depends on the distance between the origin and destination. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
