How Ocean Freight Works
Ocean freight involves transporting goods via cargo ships across international waters. The process begins with booking a shipment through a freight forwarder or carrier. Goods are packed into containers, then transported to a port terminal for customs clearance and loading onto a vessel. The ship follows a designated route, and upon arrival at the destination port, the cargo undergoes customs inspection. After clearance, it is unloaded and transported to its final destination via truck or rail. Real-time tracking ensures visibility throughout the journey. Ocean freight is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and ideal for bulk shipments, though it requires longer transit times.
