Sea Freight Agent

What is a Sea Freight Agent?

A sea freight agent regulates the logistics aspect of transporting cargoes by ship.

A freight agent works under a freight broker where both serve different purposes. While a freight broker requires to be licensed, it is otherwise for an agent thus the little or no liability. Freight brokers can be seen as the organisers who are responsible for regulating shipments from an initial point to a final destination. On the other hand, freight agents focus more on the customers to cater to their shipping needs. Despite being entities that cover different roles, both a freight agent and broker work very closely together as their roles are intertwined with one another.

What are the factors to consider when deciding whether to use sea freight?

  • Speed

    When it comes to speed, sea freight services may not be as suitable as it takes weeks or months for cargo to be transported. Delays may also occur due to bad weather, for example.

  • Cost

    Because it is a relatively slower mode of shipment, cheap sea freight is more suitable for shippers who have a budget.

  • Capacity

    Ship vessels have a larger capacity which makes sea freight suitable for transporting larger cargoes. But fear not, there is also the option of LCL ocean services for those that are unable to fully fill up the whole container.

  • Reliability

    Ships, unlike airlines, tend to be off-schedule and typically only operate according to weekly schedules. Therefore, cargoes shipped via international sea freight may risk not being able to arrive on the designated arrival date.

  • Environmental Impact

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

Why engage a Sea Freight Agent?

Personalised Touch

In order to be able to cater to and solve customers’ shipping needs, freight agents will maintain communication with them. Also, the agents will keep customers updated on their freight status to ensure that deadlines are followed for a smooth delivery.

Vast Connection of Network

Engaging a freight agent would mean that shippers can tap on the relationships with carriers that have already been established by the freight brokers that these agents are working under. This would therefore save traders that require international sea freight a lot of time.

Lower Prices

Together with other freight agents under the same broker, they may merge all of their customers’ cargo together and request for discounts. This will then be converted into lower shipping prices for customers. A freight agent that is working under a more reputable broker would be able to provide more generous discounts.
