When it comes to international shipping, one of the most reliable and cost-effective solutions is sea freight forwarding. For companies dealing in large volumes or heavy goods, sea freight provides a balance of affordability and efficiency. At Hanuram Logistic, we offer professional sea freight forwarding services that make global shipping easy, smooth, and hassle-free.
Whether you’re importing goods from China or exporting products to Europe, sea freight can be a perfect option if you plan ahead and work with the right logistics partner.
What is Sea Freight Forwarding?
Sea freight forwarding is the process of transporting goods by sea, usually in large containers, through cargo ships. A freight forwarder like Hanuram Logistic handles all the arrangements for the client — from booking cargo space on the vessel, preparing documentation, customs clearance, and final delivery at the destination.
There are two main types of sea freight:
- FCL (Full Container Load): When a single customer books an entire container for their shipment.
LCL (Less than Container Load): When goods from multiple customers are combined in one container to save cost.
Sea freight is commonly used for heavy cargo like machinery, electronics, textiles, furniture, raw materials, and more.
Why Choose Sea Freight Over Air or Road?
There are many benefits of choosing sea freight forwarding:
✅ Cost-Effective for Bulk Cargo
Compared to air freight, sea shipping is much cheaper, especially for large or heavy shipments. If you are not in a hurry and want to reduce logistics costs, sea freight is the best option.
✅ Suitable for All Types of Goods
Sea freight supports all kinds of cargo – dry, liquid, hazardous, temperature-controlled, and oversized machinery. Containers come in different sizes and formats as per your needs.
✅ Global Reach
Sea routes connect all major ports of the world. Whether you want to ship from India to the USA, Australia, Europe, or Middle East, sea freight can deliver it efficiently.
