Frequently asked questions about ocean freight
Depending on the route and distance, your goods and merchandise will take anywhere from a few days to several weeks or months to arrive. For large quantities or heavy goods over long distances, cost-efficient ocean freight is particularly worthwhile. Cargo ships also offer the option of transporting extremely large quantities at once.
Despite the use of heavy fuel oil, the industry is developing cleaner technologies. Ports and shipping lanes have a lower environmental impact than the construction of new roads or airports. Nevertheless, optimising fuel and solving environmental problems such as ballast water and noise remain a challenge for more sustainable ocean freight. So, there is still a lot to do.
To make the shipping route as efficient as possible, we rely on consolidated containers, in which various goods and products are transported together. This maximises the already enormous capacity of container ships – and reduces CO2 emissions per unit transported.
The biggest advantage of ocean freight is the significantly lower price compared to air freight.
In addition, containers can be used for a range of different transport requirements. This means that small product consignments can be transported by ocean just as easily as large freight.
Of course, it is also important to clearly distinguish between hazardous and non-hazardous goods when shipping by ocean. You don’t have to worry about the correct declaration. Our employees know exactly which forms have to be on board.
With ocean freight, goods of all types and sizes are transported by ship. General cargo, bulk cargo or containers travel from continent to continent in this way.
The only motto that applies here is: “Dat geiht glatt as’n Tüddelband.” Rough translation: As a ocean freight forwarder, we will of course take care of all your paperwork. Pro forma and commercial invoices, packing lists, delivery notes, bills of lading, any hazardous goods certificates, and a certificate of origin – everything’s running smoothly.
For the Asian region, the China train offers an alternative to ocean and air freight. This rail transport is twice as fast as sea freight, 50% cheaper than air freight and also impresses in terms of CO₂ consumption.
