FAQ – Sea Freight
1. What is Sea Freight?

2. What are the advantages of sea freight compared to other modes of transport?
Sea freight is particularly suitable for large shipments and long-distance transport. It is more cost-effective than air freight for high-volume cargo and offers excellent flexibility thanks to the wide range of available container capacities.
3. What types of containers are available?
We can provide 20-, 40-, or 45-foot containers, whether dry or refrigerated, as well as open-top and flat-rack units.
4. How is shipment tracking ensured?
Thanks to a real-time tracking system, you can know the location and status of your goods at any time. This provides you with complete visibility and allows you to anticipate the receipt and distribution of your shipments.
5. Is sea freight reliable in terms of delivery times?
Yes, thanks to our network of international maritime partners, we provide regular and scheduled connections. Although transit times are longer than by air and dependent on weather conditions, reliability is ensured through rigorous organization and optimized planning.
