Forwarding freight via air can allow for a direct to location service. Same day express services are available for time-sensitive freight including perishables.

Because of the speed of process, less stringent packaging and materials are required for goods. Security for air freight is high given the minimal time in transit, less handling that is required and acuity of tracking.


Sea Freight Services

Sea Freight is also a reliable method of freight forwarding and is often the premium choice for high-volume freight. Transport and delivery times can be longer however forwarding freight via sea can be 3 - 5 times more cost effective. Sea freight containers can carry more weight (up to 3750kgs) so it is often recommended for high-volume transfers. Freight forwarding via sea has less carbon emissions than air freight.
