1. Plan ahead: Transporting goods by sea takes much longer than by air. There are also other considerations such as national holidays, bad weather conditions and other delay-related factors. Lack of planning can lead to unexpected decisions that will cost you and eat into your profit margins. Book well in advance of your desired delivery date to ensure that your goods will be shipped on time. Our expert freight team can provide you with approximated transit times depending on the vessel, routes and good local knowledge.

2. Bigger is better: For sea freight, greater volumes almost always mean more affordable delivery rates, especially when you’re shipping goods to international destinations.

3. Protect your goods: Package your goods correctly to minimise the possibility of damage during transit.

4. Know which service type you’ll need: There are different service types in sea freight shipment. The most common ones are Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL). FCL is for customers who want a full container for their cargo. LCL is for customers who are willing to share the same container for their cargo with other shippers and consignees.
