FAQs

1. What is ocean freight?

Ocean freight, often referred to simply as sea freight, is the shipment of goods via cargo containers on large ships that traverse the seas. This method is a key component of international trade, providing a reliable and cost-effective means to transport a significant volume of goods between different ports globally. Goods are securely packed into reefer containers, and loaded onto ships, streamlining the process of moving products across oceans. Ocean freight is an essential aspect of global commerce, facilitating the efficient movement of diverse goods between various regions.

2. What is the advantage of ocean freight?

One key benefit of ocean freight is its cost-effectiveness, especially for large shipments over long distances. Shipping goods by sea is often more economical than using air freight or other methods, making it a preferred choice for businesses looking to control transportation costs. Moreover, ocean freight is flexible, easy to manage, and offers relatively fast transportation, making it a versatile and efficient choice for global trade.

3. What type of container shall I use when I have temperature-controlled cargo?

When transporting temperature-sensitive cargo, such as perishable goods or sensitive products, it's best to use refrigerated containers , often referred to as 'reefers.' These specialized containers are designed to maintain specific temperature ranges, typically from -30°C to +30°C. Much like large refrigerators, reefers come in various sizes to accommodate different cargo volumes and temperature requirements, ensuring that your goods remain in optimal condition throughout their journey.

4. How can I track my cargo?

Discover the convenience of cargo tracking with the Citrus mobile app. Our user-friendly app keeps you informed about the location, temperature, and status of your perishable goods shipments in real-time. Whether you're on the move or at your desk, our mobile app keeps you connected to your cargo. Receive timely notifications for essential updates, and enjoy expert support right at your fingertips.

5. How does ocean freight differ from air freight?

Ocean freight and air freight differ primarily in cost and speed. Ocean freight is cost-effective but slower, suitable for long-term planning, while air freight is faster but more expensive, ideal for time-sensitive shipments. Air freight offers more flexibility in destinations, but ocean freight is more eco-friendly due to lower emissions from ships. Your choice depends on cost, speed, and your shipment's specific needs.
