Sea Freight
-
FCL (Full Container Load): FCL is ideal for large shipments, allowing you to reserve an entire container for your goods. This method ensures secure and efficient transport.
-
LCL (Less than Container Load): For smaller shipments, LCL is a cost-effective option. It enables you to share container space with other shippers, saving money while maintaining reliability.
-
Cost-effective: Sea freight offers a more affordable shipping option for bulk shipments, but it may take longer than air freight.
-
Transit Time: Sea freight typically takes 7-14 days for direct routes, but it can extend to 20-30 days depending on customs clearance or transshipment requirements.
Air Freight
-
Fast Delivery: Air freight is the best choice for time-sensitive or high-value goods. It provides faster delivery than sea freight.

For large shipments, FCL is the best choice. You rent an entire container, ensuring greater security, faster delivery, and cost-effectiveness for large volumes.
