Sea freight is the carriage of cargo and people across the sea by ship. The largest mode of transport in the world, sea freight is more economical and environmentally friendly than other modes and is an important route for trade worldwide.
There are some important points to consider in sea freight processes, including how the goods are packed, accurate information about contracts and documents, reliability, and the tracking and communication provided by the carrier. For this reason, experience, technology and a customer-focused service system are very important when choosing a sea logistics company.
Tanker Transport: Oil, gas and chemicals are generally carried by tanker. One of the most important advantages of tanker transport is its very reasonable cost, as large quantities of liquid cargo can be carried with ease. Tankers are specially designed to carry liquid cargo safely, and because large volumes are carried in a single voyage, the transport process is highly efficient.
Ro-Ro Transport: A transport method in which vehicles such as trucks and cars drive on and off the ship under their own power. Ro-Ro vessel types include general cargo, car carrier, trailer carrier and rail wagon carrier ships. Speed, safety, flexibility and being environmentally friendly are among its most important advantages.
Container Transport: Container transport is a sea freight method that forms the backbone of global trade today. By allowing goods of different sizes and dimensions to be carried in standard containers, it stands out for its many advantages and uses. It is safe, efficient and flexible, and is widely preferred because it is traceable and economical.
Combined Transport: A type of transport carried out using at least two modes. For example, a product is first carried by road and then by sea to its destination. This method aims to offer faster, safer and more economical transport by combining the advantages of different modes. It is a fast method of transport, combined transport further increases safety, and cost and flexibility are also important advantages.
Bulk Cargo Transport: Used to carry cargo in bulk, such as grain, coal and iron ore.
