What is Ocean Freight?
Ocean freight shipping involves transporting containerized cargo by sea, and it handles over 90% of global trade. For shipping freight around the world, ocean freight is often the most convenient option.
Typically, shipments over 100kg or those consisting of multiple cartons are sent by sea freight. The containers used are designed for intermodal transport, meaning they can seamlessly transition between different transportation modes—such as ship, rail, and truck—without the need for unloading and reloading.
