Know More About Ocean Freight Services
Ocean freight is the process of transporting goods via the ocean through cargo ships. It is generally ideal for transporting large volumes of goods. For heavy and non-perishable goods, it is a cost-effective method, but slower than air freight.
FCL (Full Container Load) means you rent an entire container for your goods, offering more security and faster transit. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your goods share a container with other shipments, making it cost-effective for smaller volumes but with longer transit times.
Platton reduces ocean freight costs through volume discounts, optimized routing, consolidation services, and direct carrier relationships. We negotiate competitive rates, eliminate unnecessary fees, and provide transparent pricing to help you save on shipping expenses.
Yes, Platton provides comprehensive customs and port documentation services for ocean freight. Our experienced team handles ISF filing, customs clearance, port documentation, and ensures compliance with all regulations to prevent delays and additional costs.
An ocean freight forwarder coordinates the entire shipping process, including booking cargo space, arranging transportation, handling documentation, customs clearance, and tracking shipments. Platton acts as your single point of contact for all ocean freight logistics needs.
Choose ocean freight for large volumes, heavy goods, non-perishable items, or when cost is more important than speed. It's ideal for bulk commodities, manufactured goods, and shipments that don't require urgent delivery, offering significant cost savings compared to air freight.
