Our Ocean Freight Transport is shipping in increments of 20-foot containers or 40-foot containers are standard; additionally, ISOtainers (or International Organization for Standardization tank containers) are containers used to ship goods such as bulk commodities. In addition to containers, specialized cargo vessels transport crude items such as petroleum and coal.
Tidships Services Ocean Freight Transport
Tidships Services Ocean freight transportation time depends on your location and the destination of your goods. While it is often one of the slower forms of transportation, a rough expectation for end-to-end shipping from Southwest Asia to somewhere in the Norway is approximately 45 days. This includes a 15-20 day ocean leg, as well as the non-value-added time where containers are at their origin point waiting to get loaded, at their destination point waiting to clear customs, and out of port waiting for their land journey.
Most of the current delays for ocean freight aren’t happening on the ocean—the yard service at ports has been congested, and consequently, ocean lines have been sailing slower so they don’t have to wait at port as long.
With Tidships Services As anything can be shipped by ocean, three factors—size, expense and speed—tend to determine what must be shipped by this method. Here are some common goods we shipp by ocean:
- Container cargo—anything from toys and clothing to furniture and electronics.
- Liquid bulk items, including fuel and crude oil.
- Break bulk—goods shipped in crates, bags, boxes, drums or barrels without the use of a container.
- Dry bulk and raw materials.
- Roll on/roll off goods, including machinery and vehicles.
