With respect to sea freight, unfortunately, a freight forwarder doesn’t physically move the goods but provides an efficient and cost-effective way to get products to market, especially for those exporting large volumes. When talking about large volumes sometimes the cargo weight and dimensions do not allow moving the cargo by air so ocean freight will be a better choice compared to Airfreight especially also when the buyer does not need to receive the cargo as soon as possible.

Roughly 90% of goods are transported around the world by sea and freight forwarders act as an intermediary between businesses and shipping companies and can use their network of trusted freight services to get good deals on freight charges. Although freight forwarders are experts in the transportation of goods from place to place worldwide, they don’t engage in land transportation and door-to-door delivery activities.

Most of the time there is more than one way to send a cargo from Port A to port B by the ocean and the transit time that is acceptable by the customer along with the budget set by the customer for shipment play an important role in deciding the way that freight by sea is operated. Sometimes the customer prefers to use a faster service. There are also some cases in which Dijla understands that cost-effectiveness is the first priority.

Apparently, there is no difference between sea freight and ocean freight, for they’re simply two different terms for the same thing and no doubt, different countries prefer to use one over the other in their dealings and could head freight discussion with “sea freight” in the title but then everything in the text will go “ocean freight”. So, which one is more precise if you refer to the freight charged by shipping companies, sea freight or ocean freight?

Presumably ocean freight crosses oceans like the freight that goes from Dubai to Canada or from Turkey to Toronto, and is, therefore, one type of sea freight. Freight that goes between Dover and Calais or between Hong Kong and Macao is sea freight for it goes by sea, but it could not be called ocean freight. If you have no specific reason to say “ocean freight”, then say “sea freight”, as already said, ocean freight is one type of sea freight. But what about “maritime freight” and why not use “maritime freight” for both?

Actually, there is a term “ocean freight”, which appears to be used widely by people who ship freight. The general term can be “sea freight” or “maritime freight” – it doesn’t matter which you choose – but there appears to remain “ocean freight”, as a specific type of sea (or maritime) freight. Of course, there is also the minor point that freight carried by lorries along a coastal road could also be called “maritime freight”.

When you start to ship freight at high volumes, it’s time to consider ocean freight for ocean freight transport is the shipping of goods by sea via shipping containers and it is an important part of cross-border trade that lets people move massive amounts of goods between countries. The goods are typically transported on ships through the open ocean. There are many kinds of shipping options available for different kinds of goods. One of the most popular is container shipping, technically named containerization. With this option, goods are shipped using containers with standard sizes of 20 to 40 feet. Ocean freight is the most common mode of transport that importers and exporters use. In fact, a full 90% of goods are shipped by ocean freight and sea freight. The other international freight transport modes (courier, air freight, express) are all faster, but they are also more expensive. Smaller shipments, and products with a high value, generally go by these other modes.

Sea Freight is a method of transporting large amounts of goods using carrier ships. Goods are packed into containers and then loaded onto a vessel. A typical cargo ship can carry around 18,000 containers, which means that sea freight is a cost-efficient way to transport high quantities over large distances. However, there are a number of ways in which sea freight can be transported and these are:

• FCL or Full container load, which you purchase one or more full containers to send on a ship.
• LCL or less than container load, where your products share a container as you may not have a full container’s worth. Once they reach their destination, the container’s contents are divided once more.
• RORO or Roll on roll off, where your products do not leave the vehicle they are in to go onto the cargo ship. The vehicle simply drives onto the ship, and then drives off the other end.
• Dry bulk shipping, used for some specific items, which are deposited into the hold of the ship instead of travelling in a container.
• Since sea freight is just one cog within the machine that forms a supply chain network, some companies opt to use a specific 3PL to have their goods shipped safely and legally for these providers already know all of the requirements and you will not have to engage with a shipping company for each item. Once you have engaged with a shipping company, they will collect the goods from your supplier and move them through the port in one of the previously mentioned forms.

It is worth noting that delivery times should include a delay moving through the port each side as they have to pass through customs and with LCL, several shipments are packed into one container and this means more work for the forwarder, for there’s extra paperwork involved, as well as the physical work of consolidating various shipments into a container before the main transit and de-consolidating the shipments at the other end. We at Dijla understand the documentation, capacity, and best practices involved with local, regional, and global shipping, and with the cumbersome demands in the shipping field nowadays, the organization decided to spread its horizon and establish its fifth office in Canada to serve Northern America with the highest quality service and efficiency in shipping, managing shipments with tremendous transparency and confidence.

Actually, when you talk about sea freight you are aiming at the cheapest means of transportation, for when other international freight transport modes (courier, air freight, express) are all faster, but they are also more expensive and smaller shipments, and products with a high value, generally go by these other modes. As a rule of thumb, any shipment weighing more than 500 kg is too expensive for air freight and one container can hold 10,000 beer bottles!

Aside capacity and value, international law, national law, carrier organization regulations, and individual carrier regulations all play their part in defining and restricting what goods are considered dangerous for transport. Generally, in addition to constraining and charging your shipments by actual weight or dimensional weight and thus allowing light shipments as air cargo, more products are restricted as air cargo than as ocean freight, including gases (e.g., lamp bulbs), all things flammable (e.g., perfume, Samsung Galaxy Note 7), toxic or corrosive items (e.g., batteries), magnetic substances (e.g., speakers), oxidizers and biochemical products (e.g., chemical medicines), and public health risks (e.g., untanned hides) and for further information check out the Hazardous Material Table.

Emissions also play their role in deciding whether your shipments are restricted as air cargo than as ocean freight, for CO2 freight emissions from ocean freight is minuscule compared with air freight. For example, according to research, 2 tons shipped for 5,000 kilometers by ocean freight will lead to 150 kg of CO2 emissions, compared to 6,605 kg of CO2 emissions by air freight.

Well, all these factors favor shipping by sea and since shipping rates are lower for FCL, it may be worth using a full container once your shipment is large enough, even if your goods do not fill a full container. The tipping point for upgrading from LCL to FCL (the smallest sized container is a 20-footer) is somewhere around 15 cubic meters for with the exception of particularly heavy goods, most LCL is priced per volume of goods, and not by weight and for most products, use these rules of thumb for which selecting the most cost-effective mode:

• Shipments weighing more than 500 kg becomes uneconomic to go by air freight.
• Ocean freight is around $2-$4/kg, and a China-US shipment will take around 30-40 days or more.
• At about $5-8 per kilo, a China-US shipment between 150 kg and 500 kg can economically go air freight and will take around 8-10 days.
• Express air freight is a few days quicker, but more expensive.
• Packages that are lighter than 150 kg can economically go by courier (express freight).

With LCL, several shipments are packed into one container and this means more work for the forwarder, for there’s extra paperwork involved, as well as the physical work of consolidating various shipments into a container before the main transit and de-consolidating the shipments at the other end.
