Air freight is the fastest and most efficient option for urgent or time-sensitive deliveries. It is ideal for smaller parcels, high-value goods, or business shipments that must reach India quickly.
Air freight offers shorter transit times and reliable scheduling, ensuring your cargo arrives within days. However, it is generally more costly compared to sea freight and is not as suitable for large or heavy items. Many individuals and businesses choose air freight when speed and security are top priorities, such as for electronics, medical equipment, or documents.
Sea freight is the most cost-effective method for transporting larger or heavier shipments. It is suitable for bulk goods, machinery, or commercial inventory that does not require urgent delivery. While it takes longer than air freight, sea shipping offers flexible container options and significantly lower costs per unit.
Businesses often choose sea freight for its scalability and affordability, particularly when managing frequent exports or large-scale shipments. At M&P International Freights, we provide both LCL (Less Than Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load) services to cater to different shipment sizes.
The cost of shipping depends on several factors, including shipment size, weight, mode of transport, and delivery destination. Air freight is charged by weight (per kilogram), while sea freight is based on shipment volume (per cubic metre or per container).

| Weight | Air Freight (SGD)* | Sea Freight (SGD)* |
|---|---|---|
| 1kg | From $40/kg | From $15/CBM |
| 5kg | From $80/kg | From $25/CBM |
| 10kg | From $130/kg | From $40/CBM |
