Frequently Asked Questions
What is sea freight?
Sea freight, also known as international sea freight, is a long-established method of global transportation. It offers a cost-effective solution for moving both large and small shipments across borders. Most sea freight is transported in 20ft and 40ft containers aboard cargo vessels. Once packed, containers are loaded onto ships and delivered to their destination.
Modern cargo vessels typically carry around 15,000 containers, with some accommodating as many as 24,000.
There are several ways to transport goods via sea freight
- Full Container Load (FCL) is the most widely used and economical method. A dedicated container is provided for your cargo, which is returned upon arrival at its destination. FCL offers the best cost efficiency per cubic meter for general shipments.
- Less than Container Load (LCL) is an option for smaller shipments, where cargo is combined with other goods in shared containers heading to the same destination. Pricing is based on volume or weight, whichever is greater. LCL shipments generally take longer due to additional handling and consolidation.
- Break Bulk Shipping is reserved for oversized or heavy cargo that cannot fit into standard containers. Industrial machinery and mining equipment are common examples of break bulk freight.
- Vessel Charter and Bulk Shipments are used for exporting large-scale commodities such as coal, iron ore, sugar, and grain.
What are the benefits of international shipping?
International shipping offers several advantages
- Cost-efficiency—Compared to air freight, sea freight is a more affordable option for shipments exceeding 100kg or consisting of multiple packages.
- Environmental sustainability—Sea freight has a lower carbon footprint than other transportation methods, making it an eco-conscious choice.
- Capacity for large cargo—Oversized, heavy, or uniquely shaped goods can be easily transported by sea due to cargo ships’ expansive storage capabilities.
- Fewer restrictions—Unlike air freight, which is highly regulated, sea freight accommodates a broader range of cargo with fewer limitations, including hazardous materials.
How long does sea freight take?
Transit times depend on the shipping route and final destination. Direct vessel services provide faster deliveries, while transshipment—the process of transferring cargo between ships—can extend travel times.
Why are freight rates from China so high?
Sea freight rates from China remain competitive. However, CargoMaster does not handle shipping services from China.
Why are freight costs increasing?
Freight rates fluctuate over time due to multiple factors, including rising fuel prices, increased global demand, and currency exchange rates.
What is sea freight?
Sea freight refers to goods transported across international and domestic waters via cargo vessels. It is the oldest form of global trade and is typically used for shipments that do not require expedited air transport.
Why use sea freight?
Sea freight is ideal for businesses and traders operating internationally, particularly when moving large shipments that do not require urgent delivery. It is also a cost-effective alternative to air freight.
How does sea freight work?
Shipping containers—primarily 20ft or 40ft in size—are commonly used for transporting goods. Containers can be delivered to the shipper for packing or loaded at specialized cargo facilities. Once packed, they are collected and transferred onto vessels bound for their destination.
Is sea freight cheaper than air freight?
Sea freight is more affordable than air freight, though it requires longer transit times and additional handling. Air freight is better suited for urgent, fragile, or high-value goods.
How much does sea freight cost?
Pricing depends on various factors, including shipment origin and destination, cargo size and weight, and the method of transportation chosen.
Why is sea freight so expensive?
Several elements contribute to fluctuations in sea freight pricing, such as increased shipment volumes, rising fuel costs, and currency exchange rate changes.

What is the approximate transit time when shipping from Australia to the USA?
CargoMaster can secure shipments to the USA in as little as 35 days, depending on the final port destination.

HAZARD LABELS FOR DANGEROUS GOODS (DG)
Hazard Labels for Dangerous Goods (DG)
The international community has established a classification system for easy identification of dangerous goods. These goods fall into nine primary classes, and some classes are further divided to address specific risks. Each class/division has a corresponding label that accurately represents the nature of the hazard. These labels must be attached to the package during transport and remain intact throughout the journey. Take a look at the illustrated examples below to understand how these labels effectively communicate the potential dangers.
Under regulations, labels must be clearly visible on the outside of the package and must stay on the package while in transit.
You can often find labels printed on most inner packages such as:
- aerosol cans
- bottles of bleach
