Sea Freight
Sea freight refers to ferrying goods via ocean vessels.
Cargo is consolidated into shipping containers before they are loaded onto a ship and ferried to their destination.
Some advantages of sea freight include its affordability and smaller carbon footprint.
Types Of Sea Freight Services
At Haulx, we offer two types of sea freight services: Less-than-Container Load Shipping and Full-Container-Load Shipping.
LCL Shipping
LCL is used when the amount of goods transported is not enough to fill a standard cargo container. Items shipped are combined to offer better value for money.
FCL Shipping
An FCL shipment occupies the entire space of a container without having to share it with other merchandise. This may be necessary for large volumes of goods.
Unsure which type is most suitable for your business needs?
Our team is ready to provide expert assistance in helping you make the best decision.

| Cost | More expensive as compared to sea freight | More Affordable than air freight |
| Type of cargo | Better for small volume of goods with a short lifespan | Ideal for bulky items and high volume cargo |
