Sea / Ocean Freight
Intermodal container transport aboard ocean vessels via primary commercial ports in China.
Term Definition
Sea freight yields the lowest per-unit transport cost for large-volume, non-time-sensitive commercial shipments. Containers are stuffed at factories or consolidation depots before transferring to export maritime terminals. It is ideal for bulky building supplies, raw commodities, and heavy industrial machinery.
Usage Example
«Three containers loaded with ceramic tiles were boarded onto a container ship at the maritime terminal.»
