International Sea Freight Logistics：Best sea freight service
International sea freight logistics refers to a type of sea freight service that uses ships or other water transportation tools to transport goods through transportation routes. It refers to the trade service where the seller delivers the goods by ship to the buyer of other countries. It is an international commodity trading activity aimed at overcoming the spatial and temporal distance between production and consumption, and moving goods through sea transportation, thus achieving the ultimate goal of international commodity trading.
International sea freight logistics is the main mode of transportation in international trade, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total transportation volume. Many coastal countries prefer maritime transportation because it is a frequently used and cost-effective mode of shipping in sea freight services. This preference stems from the advantages maritime transport offers, including lower costs and the ability to handle large volumes of cargo efficiently.
International sea freight logistics can be divided into FCL(Full Container Load) sea shipping and LCL(Less Container Load) sea shipping.
- FCL, or Full Container Load, sea shipping typically involves a batch of goods that can fill or nearly fill an entire container. As a result, only one buyer’s goods occupy the container, which is then transported to the destination country through sea freight services. This method offers advantages in efficiency and cost-effectiveness for businesses with larger shipments.
- LCL, or Less than Container Load, is a process where each buyer’s goods are in small quantities and do not fill an entire container. Consequently, logistics companies consolidate multiple buyers’ goods into one container and transport it to the destination country using sea freight services. This approach not only maximizes shipping efficiency but also reduces costs for individual buyers.
The advantages of using International sea freight logistics transportation are as follows:
- Large carrying capacity: capable of handling oversized and heavy goods, such as bulk or nontrailer cargo, including vehicles, equipment, construction materials, etc. Its loading capacity is even greater than the carrying capacity of railway vehicles.
- The low shipping cost is one of the reasons why many international customers use it. Using sea freight services can save transportation costs and is the most economical international shipping option.
- The wide transportation range of sea routes is notable; they are accessible in all directions and can effectively transport goods to various countries. This flexibility allows for diverse shipping options tailored to meet different international logistics needs. Disadvantages: slow speed, high sailing risks, and inaccurate sailing dates
