Looking for a reliable and cost-effective way to move goods across borders? M&P International Freights provides trusted solutions for shipping from Vietnam to Singapore, whether you are sending commercial cargo, parcels, or bulk shipments. With our strong regional network and experienced logistics team, we help you find the most efficient and affordable shipping option to suit your needs.
When shipping goods from Vietnam to Singapore, the two main methods are air freight and sea freight. Each option offers different benefits depending on your shipment size, urgency, and budget.
Air freight is the fastest way to transport goods from Vietnam to Singapore. It is commonly used for urgent shipments, high-value items, documents, and smaller parcels. With frequent flight schedules between major Vietnamese cities and Singapore, air freight offers speed and reliability.
The main advantage of air freight is shorter transit time. However, it is generally more expensive than sea freight, especially for heavier shipments. This method is best for time-sensitive goods where delivery speed is a priority.
Sea freight is a popular option for larger shipments and goods that are not time-critical. It is often the cheapest shipping from Vietnam to Singapore for heavy or bulk cargo. Sea freight allows businesses to move goods efficiently while keeping logistics costs under control.
Although transit times are longer compared to air freight, sea shipping offers greater flexibility and cost savings for commercial and large-volume shipments. There are two types of sea freight: Full Container Load (FCL) and Less Than Container Load (LCL) shipping.
Full Container Load (FCL) shipping means your cargo occupies an entire container. This option is ideal for large shipments, bulk goods, or when you want exclusive use of a container. FCL offers better cargo security and faster handling since your goods are not consolidated with others.
FCL is commonly chosen by businesses shipping high volumes or moving furniture and equipment.
Less Than Container Load (LCL) shipping allows you to share container space with other shippers. You only pay for the space your cargo uses, making it a cost-effective option for smaller shipments. While consolidation may add some handling time, LCL remains a practical and affordable choice for many businesses and individuals.
Shipping costs depend on factors such as weight, cargo type, seasonality, and shipping method. Below is a general cost guide for reference:
| Weight | Air Freight (SGD)* | Sea Freight (SGD)* |
|---|---|---|
| 1kg | From $25/kg | From $10/CBM |
| 5kg | From $55/kg | From $18/CBM |
| 10kg | From $100/kg | From $30/CBM |
| 50kg | From $380/kg | From $90/CBM |
| 100kg | From $700/kg | From $180/CBM |
