Choosing Between Air & Sea Freight: What’s Right For Your Cargo?
When planning an international shipment, one of the first strategic decisions is whether to move your cargo by air or by sea.
Air freight offers speed and reliability, making it ideal for urgent, high-value or time-sensitive shipments. However, it usually comes with higher costs and tighter weight and dimension limitations.
Sea freight, on the other hand, is more cost-effective for bulky, heavy or non-urgent cargo. Transit times are longer, but you can move much larger volumes at a fraction of the cost per kilogram.
At ACB Forwarding, our team evaluates route options, cargo type, budget, and delivery deadlines to recommend the most efficient and economical combination of air and sea solutions.
