Sea-Air Combined Transport is an integrated logistics solution that combines the strengths of both maritime and air transportation. This method is particularly effective for shipments requiring a balance between cost-efficiency and speed, making it a popular choice for businesses looking to optimize their supply chain operations. Below is a detailed overview of the key logistics services provided under sea-air combined transport, along with their individual components.
Full Container Load (FCL): Transporting an entire container dedicated to a single shipment. This is ideal for large volumes of goods.
Less than Container Load (LCL): Consolidating shipments from multiple customers into a single container. This service is cost-effective for smaller shipments that do not fill an entire container.
Specialized Containers: Providing specialized containers, such as refrigerated (reefer) containers for temperature-sensitive products, open-top containers for oversized cargo, and flat-rack containers for heavy or bulky items.
Breakbulk shipping refers to the transport of cargo that cannot be accommodated in standard containers. This includes large, heavy, or irregularly shaped items.
Key Services:
Heavy Lift Services: Specialized equipment and handling techniques for transporting oversized cargo, such as industrial machinery or construction equipment.
Project Cargo: Coordinating the logistics for large-scale projects, including the transportation of multiple components, installation equipment, and specialized tools.
Custom Crating and Packaging: Designing and manufacturing custom crates or packaging to protect breakbulk cargo during transit.
