What is Ocean Freight?

Ocean freight, or sea freight, is one of the most reliable and cost-efficient methods of transporting goods across the globe. By utilizing large cargo vessels, it allows businesses to ship goods in bulk to international destinations with high efficiency. With unmatched capacity, ocean freight is an ideal option for transporting large volumes or oversized cargo.

Opting for ocean freight offers significant cost savings, sustainability, and the ability to handle various types of cargo, from standard containers to specialized shipments like vehicles or hazardous materials. It continues to be a vital component of global trade and logistics, connecting businesses and economies worldwide.

Our Ocean Freight Services

At RAM International Shipping, we offer a comprehensive range of ocean freight services tailored to meet your business needs. Our services include:

Full Container Load (FCL)

Designed for businesses with larger shipments, FCL ensures that your cargo occupies the entire container, providing both security and efficiency. With direct routes to your destination, FCL minimizes handling and transit time, making it the preferred choice for high-volume shipments.

Less than Container Load (LCL)

LCL is ideal for smaller shipments, consolidating your goods with others in one container. This cost-effective option is perfect for businesses that don’t require a full container but still need reliable, international delivery.

Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo)

Our RoRo services are specifically for wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, and heavy machinery. Vehicles are driven directly onto and off the vessel, ensuring a smooth and safe transport process for your automotive goods.

Intermodal Transportation

We offer seamless intermodal solutions that integrate ocean freight with air, rail, and truck transportation. This end-to-end service guarantees your cargo reaches its destination efficiently and with minimal delays.
