By international sea freight, these basic knowledges you must know

Under the leadership of the “One Belt, One Road” policy, our foreign trade industry is booming and booming. For every enterprise and boss engaged in foreign trade-related industries, an essential step in the sale of their products to foreign customers is transportation. As we all know, international transportation is divided into several categories, namely international air freight, international express, international railway freight, and international sea freight. If you have goods to ship, and the quantity of goods is large, then it is recommended to take the international sea freight, because the sea freight cost is the most affordable. Below, I will briefly introduce some basic sea freight knowledge that everyone needs to know when you  choose the service of international sea freight.



International sea freight, the main means of transportation is to rely on the ship, and this ship is not generally large, super large and super large. If you want to choose  international sea freight, then your goods will be loaded, but what tools are used to load the goods?? There is a special packaging tool called “container” on the international sea freight side. This box is also available in various types and sizes. The specifications from small to large are: 20GP (foot cabinet), 40GP (foot cabinet), 40HQ (high cabinet).

20GP external size--6.06M*2.44M*2.59M---Volume 28CBM
40GP external size --12.19M*2.44M*2.59M---volume 58CBM
45HQ external size --12.19M*2.44M*2.91M---volume 68CBM

If you have a lot of goods, you can use any of the above three types of cabinets and fill them up. That is really perfect. But for some people, because of some goods us a large object, they are very heavy and heavy. If you take the international express or  international air transportation, the freight costs are very high, such as pool table, heavy industry equipment. For such large items, there may not be a large number of the above three cabinets, but it is also possible to take the international sea freight method, and the price is relatively affordable. For both cases, there is also a specific industry term in international sea freight.

If explained from a professional point of view, FCL is the relative term of LCL, referring to a whole container, that is, the whole container order. The consignor is responsible for packing, counting, storage and sealing of the freight. Unpacking of FCL goods is generally handled by the consignee. However, it is also possible to entrust the carrier to unpack the cargo terminal. However, the carrier is not responsible for the damage or cargo difference in the box. The carrier shall be responsible for compensation unless the evidence of the carrier is the damage of the carrier’s liability accident. The carrier shall use the box as the handover unit for the whole container. As long as the appearance of the container is similar to that of the container and the seal is complete, the carrier completes the carrier responsibility. On the FCL bill of lading, the clause “Principal packing, counting and adding seals” shall be added. LCL is the relative term for FCL, which refers to small-ticket goods that are not full of a full box. This kind of cargo is usually collected by the carrier and concentrated in the cargo terminal of the container freight station. Then, the two tickets and two or more goods are assembled in one container, also in the container freight station of the destination. The land unpacking is delivered separately.

If you don't feel that you don't understand it, use your own words to help everyone understands that the number of goods can be loaded in one cabinet, called the whole cabinet, English is Full Container Load (FCL); cargo weight or volume Large but the number of shipping is small, known as bulk cargo, English is Less Container Load (LCL).

The above is the international shipping knowledge that is given to everyone today. Do you remember it?
