Why Choose Sea Freight in Singapore?
🌍 Strategic Global Connectivity
Singapore is consistently ranked as one of the top maritime hubs globally. With connectivity to over 600 ports in 120 countries and access to major trade routes, Singapore offers unmatched reach for global sea freight logistics.
⚓ World-Class Port Infrastructure
The Port of Singapore is among the busiest and most efficient in the world. With advanced automated systems, 24/7 operations, and deep-sea port capabilities, it handles millions of TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) every year with minimal congestion and fast turnaround.
💰 Cost-Effective for Bulk & Large Shipments
Sea freight is the most economical method of transporting large, heavy, or bulky goods internationally. Whether you’re shipping raw materials, consumer goods, or industrial equipment, ocean freight offers the lowest cost per unit of weight or volume.
🌱 Environmentally Friendly
Compared to air or land transport, sea freight has a significantly lower carbon footprint, making it the preferred option for businesses looking to implement sustainable logistics practices.
Transglobal’s Sea Freight Services in Singapore
We offer a comprehensive range of sea freight services designed to meet diverse shipping needs. Whether you need port-to-port, door-to-door, or customized logistics solutions, we deliver end-to-end services with precision and care.
🚢 Full Container Load (FCL)
Ideal for large-volume shipments, FCL offers exclusive use of a container. This option reduces risk of damage and provides faster transit, as there’s no need to consolidate with other shipments.
📦 Less-than-Container Load (LCL)
Perfect for smaller shipments, LCL allows you to share container space with other shippers. It’s a cost-effective choice for businesses that don’t require an entire container.
🔄 Door-to-Door Sea Freight Services
From your warehouse to the recipient’s doorstep, our door-to-door services include pickup, consolidation, ocean transport, customs clearance, and final delivery.
🛃 Customs Brokerage & Documentation
Our in-house team of experts handles all customs documentation and compliance to ensure smooth clearance and avoid delays or penalties at both origin and destination ports.
🌐 Multimodal & Intermodal Solutions
We integrate sea freight with other transport modes—such as air, rail, and trucking—for seamless end-to-end logistics under one provider. This approach reduces handling time and costs.
🔒 Cargo Insurance & Tracking
Transglobal provides comprehensive cargo insurance options and real-time tracking so you can monitor your shipment at every stage, with peace of mind.
