COMPETITIVE OCEAN FREIGHT RATES:
We have access to all the major sea carriers which ensures you will get the most competitive pricing for your ocean cargo shipments. However, we won’t just focus on price, but also routing and service time. Depending on your requirements, the cheapest carrier is not always the best option. We always consider the below when choosing the best ocean freight carrier:
1. TRANSIT TIME:
Speed does not come without its price. Some ocean carriers can have much shorter or longer transit times given the same port pairs. They may also have better sailing schedules with more frequent sailings out of the same port. Some carriers call several ports before departing to the final destination which can cause longer transit times. Faster services can cost more than those with more transshipments. All these factors are carefully considered when we choose the right ocean carrier for your needs.
2. ROUNTING:
Cheap ocean freight can sometimes be too narrow of scope to base logistic decisions. Sometimes an ocean carrier may be cheaper, but the routing may not be as efficient. A vessel routing that has called to many ports prior to the final destination can add additional transit time. Further to this, transshipments may require your cargo to offload one ship and on to another which is more handling of your cargo plus time. Sometimes even more expense. Paying a little more for a direct sailing can prove to be a valuable decision. We also look for carriers that are strong to your country of destination. Often times they will have good transit times as well as price simply because they focus on a particular country/port.
