WHAT IS OCEAN FREIGHT?

worldsora logo


Ocean freight, also known as sea freight, refers to the transportation of goods through ships across oceans or seas. It is a mode of international shipping that involves the movement of cargo in containers or as bulk cargo on specialised vessels.

Ocean freight is a popular choice for transporting goods over long distances, especially for shipments that are not time-sensitive. It offers a cost-effective and reliable solution for shipping a wide range of commodities, from consumer goods and raw materials to machinery and vehicles. Ocean freight provides several advantages, including the ability to transport large volumes of cargo. It is particularly suitable for long-distance shipments and bulk goods.

With efficient port operations, containerization, and advanced tracking systems, ocean freight ensures efficient handling, secure transit, and visibility throughout the supply chain. Although transit times may be longer compared to other modes of transport, ocean freight remains a vital component of global trade, connecting businesses and markets across continents.
