SEA FREIGHT

Specially adapted cargo sea and river vessels are used to ship international sea freight. Our experienced specialists help select purpose-adapted sea vessels depending on cargo characteristics and client’s needs. Options include vehicle-carrying vessels, bulk carriers, livestock carriers, lighter carries, and refrigerated ships. Cargo characteristics influence selection of special containers, which include ISO-containers of various cubic capacity, special-purpose containers designed to deliver heavyweight, oversized, or bulk goods, container-tanks used for liquid cargo transportation, refrigerated containers used for the delivery of perishables, and containers specially equipped for the transportation of vehicles and equipment, dangerous goods, etc. Bir Dunya specialists develop both monomodal and multimodal shipping arrangements using air, sea, rail and road transport.
