A unified way of delivering goods in standardized metal containers using water transport. Today, containerized cargo transportation is the most reliable and cost-effective way of transporting goods and is in great demand among customers. When planning maritime transportation, it is important to choose a reliable partner that guarantees and insures its liability to the customer.
Commercial and state-owned companies Carriers that own a waterborne fleet and a large number of sea containers for the transportation of various cargoes.
Commercial companies Freight forwarders that have direct contracts with the Shipping Lines and provide chartering services, booking containers for transportation and forwarding of cargoes in sea transportation, as well as delivery of empty containers for loading, loading and unloading of containers, return of empty containers to the port.
Commercial intermediary companies that have contracts with Line Agents and provide sub-sea freight forwarding services. As a rule, it is more profitable to place an order with a Line Agent through a Freight Forwarder due to the availability of a lower price from the Line Agent for the Line Agent in case of significant volumes of loading and transportation than the Customer will place an order directly with the Line Agent with its small volume of chartering.
Cost of transportation, increased safety of transportation, flexibility of transportation by various modes of transport, standardization, and the possibility of delivery to different continents.
The cost of transportation is seasonal and is determined individually, depending on the route, type of cargo, weight and volume.
Standard container for cargo transportation. Refrigerated containers for the transportation of goods requiring a certain temperature regime. Flat Rack for transportation of any oversized cargo. Open Top for loading cargo from above. Tank for transportation of liquid and gaseous substances.
LCL for partial loading of the container, payment for the actual volume of cargo. Groupage container transportation is a cost-effective way to deliver goods that are not enough to load the entire container and has a number of advantages: - Cost efficiency: Combining cargoes from different Shippers in one container reduces the cost of transportation for each Customer. - Flexibility and availability: The ability to transport small consignments of goods without having to pay for the entire container. - Reduced risks and increased security: Unlike air delivery, containers protect goods from external influences and damage during transportation.

Selecting the correct Incoterms® rule is essential for determining responsibility, risk allocation, freight payment obligations, and customs procedures.
The most commonly used Incoterms for sea freight include:
The seller delivers the cargo onboard the vessel at the port of loading. From that moment, all risks and costs transfer to the buyer.
The seller pays freight and insurance to the destination port, while cargo risk transfers once the goods are loaded onboard.
Similar to CIF, but insurance is not included.
The buyer assumes full responsibility from the seller's premises.

All Risks coverage.
Free of Particular Average (FPA) coverage.
