Shipping goods internationally is an essential aspect of growing your business. Still, it can also be a minefield, causing a lot of extra work and numerous potential complications that can and often do arise. As your company grows, the logical choice is to employ a specialist sea freight shipping company with demonstrable experience in the industry. While it may be fair to say that most people automatically think of air freight when transporting their stock or goods, sea freight does deliver significant advantages, particularly if you have large volumes of stock that need to be transported and where the deadline is not urgently approaching.

The key benefits of using sea freight services include but are not limited to

Significantly lower delivery price - While air freight times are considerably lower, your company will pay for this convenience and time savings. While sea freight times will always be slower, provided that you have sufficient lead times, there is no reason why your shipment cannot arrive on or before your desired delivery date.

The Best Solution For Large Shipments - Besides being a cost-effective solution for transporting goods worldwide, sea freight services are also an excellent solution for larger shipments from and to locations worldwide. It could, and indeed, is often argued by freight forwarders that the specialist sea freight containers used for sea freight offer superior protection for your personal effects compared to any other type of freight forwarding option. Whether you have sufficient volume for a full container load or only need half a container load, a company such as Atlantic International will have the capacity and experience to ensure an efficient, cost-effective door-to-door service.

Reliability

Another key benefit of using sea freight is that it is a very reliable method for freight forwarding. Shipping schedules, by their very nature, have to be carefully planned, using routes that have been well-established over many years. While there is always the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, such as inclement weather conditions or port congestion, both of which would be outside of our control, ocean freight remains one of the most dependable and affordable methods of freight forwarding.
