Sea Freight - The Main Mode of Transport

 

Sea freight is considered the main mode of transport when it comes to goods shipments. In cross-border traffic, about 90% (based on weight) takes place by sea. In 2020 alone, sea freight achieved a global trade volume of 11.5 billion tonnes with the trend rising. Worldwide, these goods are most frequently transported by general cargo ships. They are closely followed by bulk carriers and crude oil tankers. In the last 20 years, the number of tonne-miles has at least doubled. By 2024, it is expected that around 11.4 billion euros will be generated in Germany from sea freight alone.

FCL and LCL Sea Freight

Here, you can find a place for all kinds of goods, as we are offering FCL and LCL sea freight containers in different sizes, such as 20ft. containers or 40ft. containers. If you wish to use a FCL transport, only your goods will be placed in the container, which enables protection of your goods from outside influences.

For a more favourable kind of transport, you can select the LCL sea freight. Here, your goods will be loaded with goods from other customers into one container. Thereby, the costs are shared. Please know that this type of transport takes a bit more time, as there are handling periods to be considered.

 

Comparing Sea Freight Forwarders

With Freightfinders, it is not necessary, to look through various offers of different freight forwarders anymore. With our easy to handle configurator, you can compare and book the best and most favourable quotation for your route in no time. Profit from real user reviews, as well!

Shipping Cars in a Container

With Freightfinders, you can ship vehicles, like cars, or motorcycles worldwide – be it South America, China, the USA, or Canada. Decide, which container type suits your sea freight transport the best and profit from favourable transport prices.

 

Shipping Vehicles via RoRo Ship

At Freightfinders, in addition to the car container, you have the possibility to ship your vehicle with a RoRo ship. This option is mostly fast and also the most favourable one, but does not provide protection against external influences.

 

Additional Services

 

Container Loading and Load Restraint of Your Sea Freight

Save sea freight costs through professional load restraint and container loading. A load restraint done by experts helps, protecting your goods during the transport. Efficient stowage plans can guaranty fast loading and maybe even safe some space.

 

Transport Packaging of Your Sea Freight

An important point for the safety of your cargo is transport packaging. Professional packaging protects your goods from outside influences and, thereby, minimizes the risk of damage. Our partners can create individual transport packaging for goods of all kinds.

 

Sea Freight Insurance

It is often underestimated, who is held responsible for the liability and for what. The limited liability of carriers leads mostly to you, paying for your damaged goods, but also e.g. for damages done to the ship by your container. To spare you this nuisance, we offer you the possibility of covering a sea freight insurance right over our platform.

 

Sea Freight Customs Clearance

Customs clearance plays an important role for the border-crossing trade. Therefore, you should not leave this task to chance, as e.g. mistakes, the lacking of documents, or exceeding the term can turn out very time-consuming and expensive. This is why, we are working together with experts in this field, who have long-term experience and knowhow, and can simplify the process of customs clearance.

 

Calculating Sea Freight Costs & Sea Freight Rates

For an optimum overview of your costs, we have created a sea freight cost calculator, which is at your disposal. Hence, you can keep an eye on your expenses at all times and organise a favourable sea freight transport. Use our sea freight rates calculator to get an instant market overview. This allows you, to find and book the most favourable route.
