    Shipping Freight

    Shipping freight refers to the transportation of large quantities of goods or cargo by sea, air, or land. Freight can be shipped in various types of containers such as boxes, crates, barrels, or pallets. The transportation of goods by freight is typically arranged through a shipping company or freight forwarder, which handles the logistics of the shipment, including the booking of cargo space, transportation, customs clearance, and delivery

    Sea freight involves the transportation of cargo by ships. This is the most commonly used mode of transportation for heavy and bulky goods, as it is cost-effective and can handle large volumes of cargo.
