In today’s global trade environment, ocean freight remains one of the most reliable and cost-effective methods of transporting goods internationally. Whether shipping large volumes of commercial cargo, industrial equipment, or project materials, sea freight plays a vital role in connecting businesses across continents.
With access to major global shipping routes and advanced port infrastructure, ocean freight provides scalable solutions for companies looking to move cargo efficiently while optimizing transportation costs. At Trans Global (S) Pte Ltd, we specialize in comprehensive ocean freight services designed to ensure smooth, secure, and timely cargo movement worldwide.
What is Ocean Freight?
Ocean freight refers to the transportation of goods via cargo ships across international waters. It is commonly used for bulk shipments, heavy equipment, containerized cargo, and non-urgent goods requiring economical shipping options.
Businesses choose ocean freight for:
- Large-volume shipments
- Heavy or oversized cargo
- International trade imports and exports
- Cost-efficient long-distance transport
- Breakbulk and project cargo
Compared to air freight, ocean freight offers lower per-unit costs, making it ideal for large consignments.
Types of Ocean Freight Services
At Trans Global, we offer flexible ocean freight solutions to meet diverse shipping requirements.
Full Container Load (FCL)
FCL shipping is ideal when you have enough cargo to fill an entire container. This option provides:
- Greater cargo security
- Faster transit times
- Reduced handling risk
- Cost efficiency for bulk shipments
It is best suited for manufacturers, exporters, and businesses with high shipment volumes.
Less than Container Load (LCL)
For smaller shipments that do not require a full container, LCL allows cargo to be consolidated with other shipments. Benefits include:
- Reduced shipping costs
- Flexible shipment sizes
- Efficient consolidation services
- Access to global trade routes
LCL is perfect for small to medium enterprises managing moderate cargo volumes.
Breakbulk & Project Cargo
For oversized, heavy, or specialized equipment that cannot fit into standard containers, breakbulk shipping is the ideal solution. We manage:
- Heavy machinery
- Industrial equipment
- Construction materials
- Offshore and marine cargo
Our team ensures safe loading, secure handling, and proper documentation for complex shipments.
