Ocean Freight

Ocean freight involves the transportation of large shipments via sea, using containers that are loaded onto ships. As the backbone of global trade, over 90% of the world’s goods are transported by sea, with some countries relying even more heavily on this mode of transport.

As a Ocean Freight Services
Freight forwarding we offer a variety of ocean freight solutions, including logistics management, customs clearance, shipment coordination, tracking, and price monitoring. Each step ensures the smooth movement of goods across international waters, navigating complex regulations and taxes that differ from country to country, and even port to port.

Logistics providers, especially those offering customs brokerage services, play a vital role in maintaining the efficiency of supply chains that rely on ocean transport. With the wide range of services they offer, these agencies are essential for streamlining international shipping operations.

Ocean freight forwarders vary in type. For example, CAF Worldwide operates as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI) and a licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC). There are also freight forwarders who specialize solely in ocean shipping. In addition to NVOCCs and traditional forwarders, there are Vessel Operating Carriers (VOCs) and Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCOs).
