When it comes to shipping large volumes, heavy loads or large goods, container ships are the best option. Your goods are packaged securely for transport and loaded into a container, often together with consignments from other suppliers. This results in a full container load (FCL for short) that makes best use of the storage space available.
With careful advance planning, sea freight can deliver two excellent advantages. The first is the huge cost saving compared to all other modes of freight transport. The second is the environmental aspect: sea freight has a much smaller carbon footprint than transport by air, for example.
Our sea freight specialists have been part of the alpha trans crew for many years, so you can rest assured that they understand everything that is required for successful transport. They choose every carrier according to strict criteria, know the sailing schedules by heart and are in regular contact with the major shipping companies and seaports. We also have a direct hotline to our on-site partners to make sure your goods reach their destination safely.
