What is Sea Freight?

Sea Freight is one method of transporting goods all around the world, and this mode specifically involves the movement of goods via cargo ships. Often referred to as Ocean Freight, or Container Shipping, goods are packed into containers and then sent to your desired destination.

Here at AGI we specialise in offering Sea Freight solutions. And as we work with a wide range of carriers, we are able to offer a Full Container Load (FCL) or a Part Load (LCL) transport service. For more information about our Sea Freight services, why not read our blog on choosing us as your Sea Freight distributor!

What are the benefits of a Sea Freight Solution?

A typical cargo ship can carry up to 18,000 containers, making Sea Freight an incredibly cost-effective means of transporting goods. And due to the volume of containers on each ship, transporting your goods by sea is also the most sustainable mode of transport currently available. So if you are looking for an eco-friendly logistics solution for transporting your goods, then Sea Freight is the answer!

The advantages of shipping your goods using Sea Freight are endless! And for even more advantages of using this mode of transport to ship your goods, you can read our blog on the Process of Sea Freight in the UK.

Refrigerated Transport

Did you know that refrigerated containers, or ‘Reefers‘ can also be used when sending goods over water? Well, they can! In fact, the use of ‘Reefers’ ensures chilled/frozen goods are transported at a controlled temperature for the duration of the journey. So this is an excellent solution if you are looking at a cost-effective method of moving goods that have to be kept at a certain temperature.
