Ocean freight involves shipping goods via cargo vessels on the sea, offering a cost-effective solution for large volumes. In contrast, air freight utilizes airplanes for faster but generally more expensive shipments, often suited for smaller and time-sensitive cargo.

Ocean freight is versatile and can accommodate a wide range of cargo types, including general goods, raw materials, machinery, automobiles, and oversized or bulk items.

The duration of ocean freight shipping varies depending on the distance and the specific trade route. Generally, it can take weeks to a month for cargo to reach its destination.

Ocean freight is considered a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation compared to air freight. Cargo ships have a lower carbon footprint per ton-mile, making them a sustainable choice for certain shipments.
