MARITIME FREIGHT FORWARDING – THE MOST CONVENIENT AND RELIABLE WAY TO EXPORT AND IMPORT PACKAGES, PALLETS, AND CONTAINERS OVER LONG DISTANCES
Maritime freight forwarding is currently the most convenient and reliable method for exporting and importing packages, pallets, and containers over long distances. Sea transport becomes most cost-effective for shipments and loads exceeding 500 kg or volumes greater than 1 m³. With various types of containers available, it enables the transportation of goods of unconventional dimensions or under special conditions (e.g., refrigerated containers).
How Does Maritime Container Transport Work?
Maritime container transport involves the process of transporting goods in maritime containers. It begins with the collection of goods from the manufacturer, which are then transported to a warehouse. There, the goods undergo inspection, packing, and loading into containers. Subsequently, the container is transported to the port, where it undergoes customs clearance. Failure to provide adequate documentation may result in the cargo being detained by customs authorities. After customs clearance, the container is loaded onto a ship and sails to the destination port.

Maritime container transport offers several advantages, making it one of the best methods for transporting various types of goods:
- Low Transport Costs: Sea transport is the most economical way to transport goods over long distances.

- No Restrictions on Types of Goods: Sea transport enables the shipment of goods of various dimensions, including hazardous goods.
- Capability to Transport Large and Heavy Loads: Sea transport accommodates the transportation of very large and heavy loads, often with non-standard dimensions.
