Factors to consider when using Sea Freight

  • Capacity

    Sea freight is done via ships which would mean that a larger quantity can be transported as ship vessels have a large capacity. This hence makes sea freight suitable for shipping bulky cargoes. For shipment that involves lower quantity, there is the option of LCL ocean services that enables one to transport their goods without a full container load.

  • Cost

    Sea freight is a relatively cheaper alternative for shipment and is hence suitable for shippers who have a budget.

  • Environmental Impact

    As compared to air freight services, sea freight transportation releases less carbon dioxide and would hence be less harmful to the environment.

  • Reliability

    Unlike airlines, sea freight export has the tendency to be off-schedule and typically only function according to weekly schedules. Therefore, there is a risk that cargoes shipped via sea freight transport services may not be able to arrive punctually on the designated arrival date.

  • Speed

    With a low cost, the speed of international sea freight could be compromised. Sea freight may not be suitable for goods that are perishable, for example, as it takes up to weeks or months for cargo to be transported. To add on, further delays due to bad weather may also occur.

Engagement of Freight Forwarders

When companies take on the task of handling their own shipments by contacting a carrier directly, they may risk having to spend even more during the process.

Having a freight forwarder to do the job would mean that companies can tap on their expertise and knowledge to handle shipments. This guarantees an efficient and cost-effective shipping process. It is also important to only trust a freight forwarding company that has had vast experience in the industry.

With the help of a freight forwarder, companies may also save the trouble and focus on their core business operations which would be a more cost-effective move.

High Demands for Container

In some cases, there may be cheaper sea freight rates due to the high demand for containers in a certain country. For example, a shipment to China from the ports of the United States (US) is cheaper than a shipment to the US from China. This is because the demand for containers in China is high, hence all containers are required to return to China in order for cargoes to be shipped from there. Therefore, companies may monitor the supply and demand trends of containers to predict when there may be cheaper sea freight rates.

Less than Container Load (LCL)

LCL ocean services refer to the situation where there is insufficient cargo to fill the whole container.

Unlike airlines, sea freight rates are calculated based on the volume of the cargo instead of its weight. Volume is defined as the amount of space of which is occupied by the cargo within the container. This would mean that when cargo is heavy but occupies less space, it would be cheaper when transported through sea freight.

With more freight forwarder company acknowledging LCL, affordable rates have been offered and cargo can be efficiently organised in a container with other shippers’ cargoes. This then ensures not only an affordable alternative for heavy but non-bulky goods but also efficiency in the shipment process.
