The Advantage of General Bulk Carrier

The size of the goods is not limited, the freight is cheaper than the RO-RO shipping, the shipping capacity is sufficient, huge amount o shipping companies to be chosen, and all ports have ships that is available.

 

 

The Disadvantage of General Bulk Carrier

The shipment schedule is unstable, and the shipment schedule is greatly affected by the loading and unloading efficiency and weather condition, which is easy to be postponed on the next shipment.

The cargo needs to be lifted and reinforced twice during loading and unloading, which requires a high level of operation at the loading and unloading port. If the operation is not professional, it is easy to damage the cargo during lifting and sailing.

The goods may be loaded on deck, during the navigating, wind and waves may get the goods rust, damage, etc., There may be a difficulty in getting clean bills of lading.

 

2. Container Cargo Shipping

We provide FCL (full container load) instead of LCL (less container Load) service. When it comes to more quantity, it will be cheaper and have better protection.

 

Why You Choose Container Shipping?

1) It is convenient to use large loading and unloading machinery and large carrying vehicles to load & unload and move containers to complete the transportation task, which means the cargo will be delivered sooner.
2) Containers can ensure the safety of cargo transportation, avoid damage to goods caused by human and natural factors, reducing economic losses.
3)There is no need to pack the cargo in addition, which can cut down the cost of commodity.
4)For the whole container only carry the cargo of yours, once you provide the docs needed (if you have any doubt on which exact docs are needed, pls feel free to seek for help with us, our technical team will work with our partner in the POL to provide you all the accurate info you demand), after relevant procedures are in place and the tax paid successfully, there is no bother for you to wait for all of the others to finish the procedure.

The procedure may be more convenient as well due to proceeded locally.

 

Special container: which can convey OOG cargos

OT (Open Top): When the cargo is over appointed height.

FR (Flat racks): There is no top and side wall of the box, and even some of the FR only has the bottom plate and four corner columns, which belongs to a special type of container.

It is mainly used for the transportation of goods which are over-limit (ultra-high, ultra-wide, ultra-long, irregular heavy and voluminous cargoes).

Currently, it is mainly used for the export transportation of dump trucks, tractors, cement mixing trucks, buses, bulldozers and other equipment, with the advantages of stable shipping schedule, more ports to choose, saving sea freight and so on.

However, the FR is not waterproof, thus the goods that should keep out of moisture can not be shipped.

 

3. Shipping by RO-RO
How does RO-RO shipping work?

The transport unit is a vehicle or a vehicle filled with containers or goods. When loading, the car and the trailer towed by the tractor vehicle enter the cabin through the gangway. Upon arrival at the port of destination, the vehicle can be driven directly to the final receive place. The loading and unloading efficiency of RO-RO ships is very high, up to 1000 ~ 2000 tons per hour, and the realization of "door-to-door" direct transportation from the pick up place to the receiving place, reducing the damage and errors in the transportation process. In addition, the ship and the port do not need lifting equipment, even if the port equipment conditions are poor, ro-ro ships can be efficient loading and unloading. Therefore, ro-ro ship has become a new type of ship with rapid development.

 

The advantage of RO-RO shipping

Ro-RO ship is convenient, fast, with large transport volume, flexible loading and other characteristics, with high unloading efficiency considering cargo safety, do not rely on port lifting equipment, has strong adaptability. In the RO-RO shipment, all the goods are basically packed in the hatch, and rarely shipped on deck.

In the actual international trade of automobiles, machinery and equipment, it is especially easier to sign a clean bill of lading, so as to facilitate the presentation and negotiation of documents.

The loading period and voyage time are accurate, which can effectively control the time in the process of transportation and sea freight.

 

The disadvantage of RO-RO shipment

Ro-RO ship owners are mainly in Europe, South Korea and Japan, and China has no RO-RO ship owners on a large scale so far, which is difficult to guarantee the shipping space, especially in the peak of transportation season, there is often difficult to find a cabin. The price is higher than that of bulk and general cargo ships. There are certain requirements for unpowered and tracked powered mechanical equipment.
