By sea and by air, the ideal combination of speed and cost. If air freight is out of your budget range, go for the next best thing with our combined sea-air service.
The long sea voyage from Asia to Europe or America gives you the lowest cost transport, but it does not give you speed. Our combined sea-air service bridges that gap.
For example, we will ship your cargo from Chennai to Dubai by container ship and then transfer it to an aircraft within hours of arrival. From there it reaches its destination in Europe or North America within a day or two instead of up to two weeks, and you reduce your supply chain costs by up to 40% by not using a full air freight transport solution.
Things to consider before using sea-air services: not all goods are suitable for shipping in this way, and you'll need to pay attention to the regulations for dangerous goods by both air and sea.
Clearly, a whole 40' shipping container can't be loaded onto an aircraft. The sea container will need to be unloaded and your goods reloaded into unit load devices for transport by air, so the nature of the goods can make this tricky or impossible.
Our expert freight forwarders are ready to advise you about all the options.
