The cost of shipping

Prices for sea freight significantly lower than other types of cargo delivery. The cost of a specific delivery of cargo by sea will depend not so much on the distance, but on the type of cargo, its weight, dimensions and the container used for transportation. Considering that additional special equipment will be required to unload especially heavy cargo.

In any case, the cost of sea transportation is not comparable with air or road transport, and you will really save money by choosing this method of international delivery of goods. Moreover, by planning sea transportation in advance, you will not experience any delay in time due to the “slowness” of sea transportation, moreover, you will see in practice their safety, stability and availability. Naturally, shipping by sea alone does not solve the issue of the entire transport operation, because the cargo must not only be delivered to the port by sea, but then also transported by container ship by land.

But if there is a sea on the way of the cargo and there is a real opportunity to use sea transport to overcome most of the way (and in most cases this is exactly the case), then it is most prudent to choose sea delivery, no matter what type of cargo we are talking about. The cost of delivery of cargo in a sea container, by a container ship, from the port to the city specified in the documents, to the warehouse of the consignee, is calculated as for a separate transportation, if another transport or forwarding company was the organizer of the sea transportation.
