Businesses often face difficulty deciding whether air or sea freight is the right choice. Air freight is unmatched in terms of speed and is ideal for high-value, urgent, or perishable goods. However, it comes with significantly higher costs and weight restrictions.
Sea freight is far more cost-efficient for large volumes and heavy cargo. It offers better options for FCL and LCL shipments but usually requires longer transit times.
Understanding your product needs—time sensitivity, budget, handling instructions—helps you select the optimal shipping mode. Most modern supply chains even combine both modes for maximum efficiency.
