Sea Freight
Sea freight is an eminent feature among the services offered by
Astra Logistics. Our network of agents and logistics partners worldwide enable our clients to benefit from a package tailored to their individual needs and time requirements. Handling FCL’s / LCL’s shipments to worldwide destinations.
FCL:If a shipper / importer has enough cargo to make either a 20ft or 40ft container cost-effective, the product is sold at a container rate. The customer pays an agreed price for the container, it is then totally at his discretion as to how much cargo is placed inside the container-the more tonnage placed inside the container the lower the unit price.
LCL:This is the same type of product, as the consolidation service on airfreight where there is not enough cargo for the shippers needs to warrant payingfor a 20ft container. So space is sold at the applicable weight / measure price to and from the major ports throughout the world-this is effectively a groupage service.
As we work with all shipping lines, a detailed schedule of services can be provided which highlights the frequency, transit time and real freight costsas they do vary considerably for different lines within the same trade route
