Need assistance with your sea freight shipments? Contact us. Sea freight is considered a very cost effective method of moving your goods from A to B. It is also generally slower than shipments moved by air, road or rail.
Sea freight can be separated into deep sea and short sea (usually roll-on roll-off) and then further divided into Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than full Container Load (LCL) traffic carried by Conference and non-Conference shipping lines. Many factors effect sea freight tariffs which are usually quoted per 1,000KG or per cubic metre. These include the shipment weight, the shipment volume, the commodity, the relative value of the shipment, the length, whether it is a FCL or LCL, the current cost of oil (Bunker Adjustment Factor-BAF) and the current strength of the dollar (Currency Adjustment Factor-CAF). |
