  • Advantages of OceanFreight

    1) Cost Effective - Transit by sea can be the most cost-effective way to move your personal goods, making it one of the key advantages of sea transport.


    2) Large Volume - This method of transit is especially suited to heavy items that may cost more to transport via air or road. Shipping containers can easily be moved from ship to truck or rail for further travel inland.


    Types Of Cargo

    1) Dry Cargo - A dry-cargo container is a shipping container used for transporting all types of goods, except liquids. The dry-cargo container comes in a variety of sizes. Depending on the service provider, the container can be measured in 20′, 40′ or a little bit above 45′.


    2) Liquid Cargo - it can be shipped using different container/packages as follows: 1)DRUMS / BARRELS - There are many different types of drums and barrels available, such as steel, plastic and fibre. However, they are all very similar in that they require a liner or coating for food hygiene safety, and a pallet and strapping for safety. Since drums have volumes ranging from 20 to 250 litres (5.3 - 66 gal.), they are better suited if you ship a lower capacity of liquid cargo. 2)INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS - In terms of volume, an IBC holds around 200 to 1,250 litres, which is in between the capacity of drums and tanks - hence the term “intermediate”. With both top and side discharge/loading points, they are generally quite easy to use, without the need to transfer cargo to another storage tank.


    3) Cold Cargo - This includes meat, fish, poultry products, dairy products, drugs and experimental samples. Refrigerated cargoes are perishable to a greater or lesser degree, and their safe carriage depends on maintaining suitable storage conditions during transportation.
