What is Ocean freight?
Ocean freight shipping is the method of transporting containerised cargo loaded onto vessels by ocean. Over 90% of all the world’s trade is carried by ocean transportation. If you want to ship your freight around the world, ocean transport is the most convenient option. As a general rule, shipments weighing more than 100kg – or consisting of multiple cartons – will be sent by ocean transport. The containers are designed and built for intermodal freight transport. That means the containers can be used across various transportation modes – from ship to rail to truck – without unloading and reloading the cargo from the container.
How does the ocean freight work?
After customs clearance procedures, the goods are loaded into containers and onto the ship; Once the vessel arrives at the destination port, the container is unloaded and the goods go through import customs procedures; After passing customs, the goods are released and ready for delivery.
How is ocean freight charged?
To calculate the freight cost per container, you need to know the container's chargeable weight or volume, and then multiply that by the rate per kilogram (or cubic meter). Make sure to account for additional charges like fuel surcharges or port handling fees.
