Customer Ocean Freight Information Checklist

Are there extra charges such as port fees or terminal handling fees?

Yes, ocean freight often includes additional costs such as port charges, terminal handling fees (THC), customs clearance fees, documentation fees, and local delivery charges. These costs vary depending on the port, country, and type of shipment, and are usually communicated before shipping.

Why does ocean freight take longer than other transport methods?

Ocean freight takes longer because ships travel long distances at sea and follow fixed sailing schedules. Additional time is also needed for port handling, customs clearance, loading/unloading containers, and possible weather or congestion delays. However, it remains the most cost-effective option for large shipments.

How is cargo secured inside containers?

Cargo is secured using pallets, straps, dunnage (protective materials), and blocking systems to prevent movement during transport. Containers are tightly sealed and designed to protect goods from weather, moisture, and external damage throughout the journey.

What documents are required for sea shipping?

Common documents include:

  • Bill of Lading (B/L)
  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Export/Import Declaration
  • Certificate of Origin (if required)
  • Any special permits or licenses depending on cargo type

These documents ensure smooth customs clearance and legal compliance.

What happens if goods are lost or damaged during shipping?

If goods are lost or damaged, it depends on the insurance coverage and shipping terms. Most shipments are covered by cargo insurance options, which allow compensation based on the declared value. The shipping company investigates the issue, and claims are processed according to international shipping regulations.
