Many countries export and import goods with a large volume and weight through well-equipped and advanced ports. This will increase the speed of moving goods. According to statistics, more than 90% of the shipments in the last two decades have been carried out through sea transportation. According to the experience of the managers of Karmaniya Transport Company, competent services in the field of sea transportation are provided to customers.

Advantages of sea transportation

As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, more than 90% of goods are transported in the world using the sea transportation method. You should know that the huge advantages of sea transportation should be considered as the main reason for this. The ability to move heavy and bulky goods and the much lower cost compared to the air and land method should be considered as one of the most important advantages of using the sea method for transporting goods.

You should know that we at Karmaniya Transport Company use different methods for sea transportation. Among the most important types of transportation using ships, the following can be mentioned.

1- Cross stuffing method

Cross-staffing method is one types of sea transportation methods. This method is used when the destination port does not have the ability and necessary facilities to dock large ships. For this reason, it is necessary to transfer the goods from one ship to another ship or ships and bring them to the destination port. You should know that this method is also done in reverse.

That is, from the small port of origin, they load the goods on different ships and transfer them to the big cargo ship in another big port. Another case is to use the cross-staffing method to bypass some sanctions. Countries like Iran that are embargoed can use this method to import some of the goods they need.

2- Chartering method

Sometimes, due to different reasons such as large volume of goods, lack of special packaging or many other cases, it is necessary to rent a cargo ship in full. In these cases, chartering or full ship rental should be used.

3- Transshipment method

Not all countries have access to open waters. For this reason, one of the types of sea transportation called transshipment has been created. In this method, loads are brought to a port close to the destination and from there they are brought to the destination by ground or air transportation methods.
