Why a Sea Shipment?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 Jun 2020<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/service\/relocation-management-services\/\">relocating<\/a> from one country to another, you&#8217;ll probably have one &#8211; or even both of these kinds <\/span><b>of <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shipments. If this is already familiar, the rest of this might be too elementary for you. But if not, this should get you started on the basics of <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/service\/international-moves\/\">international moving<\/a>&#8230;.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sea shipments are for large volume moves, like a house or apartment full of furniture. Typically, they go via <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">20&#8242; or 40<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8216; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ocean container and end up on massive ocean-going vessels. Sea shipments are relatively cost-efficient, especially if you can fill up a container. Obviously, sea shipments move slower than air shipments, but since they cost less, you have a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">time <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">vs. cost tradeoff to consider.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sea-vs-Air-Shipments_s-825x454-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"825\" height=\"454\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22881 size-full\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Air shipments are for high priority items that must be at the destination at, or close to your expected arrival date. Air shipments typically contain clothing (especially if you are traveling to a city with a different climate) and medicines <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">if allowed<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Sometimes we see media players, computers, and high-value electronics. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">you have small children, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">may want to take toys and other trinkets that make them feel at home.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sea shipments are comparatively straightforward. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">goods are wrapped, packed, and loaded in the container. The container weight is computed and you will be charged on a per kilo (or pound) after deducting for the weight of the empty container itself.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Air shipments are less intuitive. Yes, actual weight is determined but then the airlines do some weird stuff. They also compute the airline chargeable weight (ACW) which is the real volume but multiplied by an arbitrary density factor of 10.4 lbs \/ cubic foot. The upshot is those couple <\/span><b>of <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">suitcases whether its full of cotton balls or clothes and shoes where one is indeed lighter than the other, airlines will change the rules and treat it as the same weight using the above density factor, I know, a little unfair.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many more aspects of sea vs. air shipments. This is only meant to give you the very basic concepts.
