The process

The ocean freight forwarding procedure involves an ocean forwarder transporting shipments and goods between two locations by ship.

The forwarder must comprehend international trade, trade legislation, and how to ship on behalf of a corporation that requires global shipping.

Here is the complete seven step process:

1- Export haulage

The first phase is transporting the cargo from a shipper’s location to a freight forwarder’s warehouse. A truck or train usually transports the products. Depending on distance, geographical location, and commodity type, export haulage might take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks.

2- Items checkpoint

Following export haulage, freight forwarders who receive the products will inspect to ensure that everything arrived safely and without incident. This phase covers all manual processing, inspection, and loading of the goods.

3- Export custom clearance 

Before shipping, clearance from the nation of origin is required, which means filing information about the cargo and any supporting documentation. It is a standard-setting formality to submit valid and required documents to the appropriate authorities. Both shippers and consignees usually agree on who is accountable for this process.

4- Ocean freight 

Ocean forwarders schedule shipping lines for conveyance to meet the needed deadline for cargo. The sea freight phase includes the price of shipping from port to port and additional fees for currency adjustment factors, currency exchange, and others.

5- Import custom clearance 

Once the shipment arrives, officials in the receiving country must review the clearance documentation. This process can start even before the cargo arrives. Import customs clearance is the duty of the freight forwarder or consignee’s appointed customs broker.

6- Destination arrival and handling 

This stage entails several different processes, such as freight transportation and offloading from the port to the target warehouse. All shipment paperwork, including pending documentation, carrier bills, and more, is received by freight forwarders.

7- Import haulage

This final step, which is nearly identical to export haulage, entails the actual delivery of the product to the consignee and, finally, to the consumer. Freight forwarders can assist with this process, or the consignee could choose to pick up the shipment directly.

Freight Consolidation

The demand for containerized shipping from the worldwide market has risen in tandem with the growth of international commerce. Container shortages, traffic, and prolonged wait times have resulted in higher shipping and freight rates, so it is preferable to ship a full container load (FCL).

However, small and medium-sized businesses are the hardest hit by rising costs due to their low cargo volume. Their shipments are mostly less than container load (LCL), which refers to when a corporation does not have enough orders to fill a container.

In the case of a less than container load (LCL), freight forwarders provide the option of freight consolidation by combining many small shipments from multiple smaller shippers into one large shipment for a full container load.

Shipping a full container load (FCL) is far more cost-effective, time-saving, and efficient and allows for faster delivery of smaller shipments.

At All Modes Transport and Logistics, we collaborate with various customers and shippers to consolidate and manage goods in real-time, ensuring prompt and efficient service to make our customers happy.

Calculating the cost

Basic ocean freight under LCL Cargo is calculated per CBM (cubic meter) or per tonne (per 1000 kg gross weight) basis, whichever is greater. Alternatively, basic ocean freight for LCL shipments is also determined based on the chargeable volume of cargo. The total cubic meter volume of cargo or the total gross weight in tonnes, whichever is greater, is the chargeable volume.
