What is Ocean Freight?

Over 90% of all the world’s trade is carried by sea – and even more in some countries. Ocean freight is the method of transporting containerized cargo loaded onto vessels by sea.

According to the shipping rules and regulations, shipments weighing over 100kg - or consisting multiple cartons - are to be shipped by ocean freight. The containers are designed for intermodal freight transport, which means - from ship to rail to truck - without unloading or reloading, the containers can be switched across transportation modes.
