HOW LONG DOES SEA FREIGHT TAKES TO REACH THE DESTINATION?

This question needs more specificity. Among the many factors, the most prominent one determining the time duration of a specific sea freight depends on the starting location and the destination port. It will be easier to sail from Dubai to Bahrain than sailing from Dubai to Portugal.

To get an estimated time of delivery, one should also have to know the schedule of the ship and the number of ports in the due course before the destination of your shipment. Also, the speed of the carrier vessel should be taken into account for the calculation of delivery time.

WHICH ONE IS CHEAPER – SEA FREIGHT OR LAND FREIGHT?

Both modes of transport are important and resourceful depending on the requirement and type of shipment you plan to deliver. If you are planning to ship some perishables, land freight will suit you better but if you have a shipment of say 100 Volkswagen cars to be delivered to the USA, then nothing but the sea freight suits you. Sea freight offers you shipment delivery of lower cost compared to other modes. Though it might take a longer time, if you happen to be on a budget, the perfect option will be to stick with sea freight.

HOW TO CALCULATE SEA FREIGHT RATES?

There are many factors that determine the rates of sea freight. Usually they are considered multiplying the volume of the cargo intended to ship with the base rates charged by the shipping company, to which the other costs will be added up. The top ones will be mentioned below:

Volume of the cargo – this is dependent on the amount of items you plan to ship.
Fuel prices – as crude oil price per barrel decreases, the fuel price falls down.
Base rates – this is the charge the shipping company charges as the base cost.
Currency rates – with increase in international dollar prices, the rate of cargo delivery also shoots up.
Capacity – when the demand is high, the rates of shipping also increases.
Operational cost – include wages, infrastructure costs, insurance, etc.

Effective and efficient services make a difference in our shipment process compared to the other logistics companies. The items are shipped in vessels with modern equipment and technologies to facilitate GPS monitored location sharing at any particular time the customer wishes.

Packaging is done under the guidance and supervision of industry experts who thoroughly monitors each and every consignment individually. This helps to avoid any instances of improper package handling.

Regarding the shipment, there is consolidated packaging as well as individual personal packaging. In the former, the item will be shipped with other consignments and you will have to pay only for the space and weight you plan to ship. In the personal packaging, a particular space is allocated for you whether you use it or not but you will have to pay for the whole. Each has its own advantage like in the former lesser payment and in the latter, a special place to keep just the items you ship.
