Advantages of OceanFreight

• Cost Effective - Transit by sea can be the most cost-effective way to move your personal goods, making it one of the key advantages of sea transport.
• Large Volume - This method of transit is especially suited to heavy items that may cost more to transport via air or road. Shipping containers can easily be moved from ship to truck or rail for further travel inland.

Types Of Cargo

• Dry Cargo - A dry-cargo container is a shipping container used for transporting all types of goods, except liquids. The dry-cargo container comes in a variety of sizes. Depending on the service provider, the container can be measured in 20′, 40′ or a little bit above 45′.
• Liquid Cargo - it can be shipped using different container/packages as follows: 1)DRUMS / BARRELS - There are many different types of drums and barrels available, such as steel, plastic and fibre. However, they are all very similar in that they require a liner or coating for food hygiene safety, and a pallet and strapping for safety. Since drums have volumes ranging from 20 to 250 litres (5.3 - 66 gal.), they are better suited if you ship a lower capacity of liquid cargo. 2)INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS - In terms of volume, an IBC holds around 200 to 1, 250 litres, which is in between the capacity of drums and tanks - hence the term “intermediate”. With both top and side discharge/loading points, they are generally quite easy to use, without the need to transfer cargo to another storage tank.
• Cold Cargo - This includes meat, fish, poultry products, dairy products, drugs and experimental samples. Refrigerated cargoes are perishable to a greater or lesser degree, and their safe carriage depends on maintaining suitable storage conditions during transportation.

Advantages of Air Freight

• Speed and reliability - The biggest advantage shippers gain when shipping air cargo is speed, which can be as fast as same-day delivery. This mode of transportation offers the fastest shipping times, as well as reliable arrival and departure times.
• Security - While airport security can be a hassle for those of us who fly, strict regulations and screenings benefit air freight shippers. Cargo receiving areas and air terminals are highly monitored and secure, limiting the risk of theft or damage.

Types Of Cargo

• General Cargo - includes high-value goods, such as electronics, jewellery and pharmaceuticals. Air shipping is more expensive than shipping by sea, but due to the high margins and the fact that many electronic goods are fragile, air freight is the most appropriate form of transport.
• Special Cargo - requires special conditions for transporting goods, such as temperature control, certain air conditions or protected casing (e.g. if the goods are hazardous or livestock).
