Sea Freight

What is sea freight forwarding?

Sea freight forwarding is the process of organising and planning the transport of products and/or cargo from its origin to its end destination, by sea.

Typically cheaper than air freight, sea freight offers a flexible and reliable method to ship non-urgent cargo around the world. It maintains a lot of the complexity involved in most international freight forwarding, requiring key freight documents, insurance, customs clearance, and the ability to handle other unmitigated/unforeseen circumstances.

What does a sea freight forwarding partner do?

At ASCG, we believe that the best sea freight services offer a flexible cargo shipping solution that has comprehensive end-to-end coverage, from origin to destination. That is why we provide a fully insured service with the optimum combination of quality, speed and affordability.

Whether full container loads (FCL) or less than full container loads (LCL), every shipment is treated as a priority.
