Sea Freight is the transportation of goods by sea. Goods are packed in large cargo containers, loaded to a vessel and sailed to the destination country by sea.

NB: Freight, Cargo and Shipping are words that may be used interchangeably as they have similar meanings.

Sea freight is a common method of transporting goods across the world using large cargo ships. It is by far the most widely recognized method of transport that merchants and exporters use.

A typical cargo vessel can carry 18,000 containers (TEU), exactly what fits a 20ft container.
