OCEAN FREIGHT - PREMIUM SEA SHIPPING SERVICES SPECIALIZED IN INDOCHINA
What is sea freight?
Sea freight, also known as ocean freight, is a method of transporting a large amount of cargo using various versions of cargo ships.
Cargoes are usually packed into containers and are widely considered to be the most cost-efficient way to transport large quantities over long distances compared to land freight or air freight.
Overview of sea freight
Generally speaking, there are two main ways for ocean freight shipment to be transported in your supply chain, Full container load or Less than container load, commonly seen as FCL or LCL.
Full container load (FCL) refers to purchasing one full container for your goods, thus the name full container.
Less container load (LCL) refers to when the number of goods you have may not be a full container's worth, you would purchase spaces of a container instead of an entire container.
If you are not sure whether your goods require FCL or LCL services, feel free to contact VICO Logistics for further help, we are more than happy to assist you on that process.
Once you have engaged with a freight forwarder for regional or international shipping, they will collect your goods from your supplier, move them to the mentioned port on the shipping contract, and process them through customs clearance.
It is essential to understand that even though LCL is an option, there is still a minimum requirement. If your product count is less than the minimum, you should seek other means of transportation.
