Then, the experts at our shipping agency will review the customs regulations for your desired destination, along with the packaging requirements and the conditions for exporting or importing your goods.
International Marine Transportation Destinations
Generally, any country with access to open waters will be a destination for international marine transportation. Some of these countries include:
- China: Major ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.
- USA: Important ports like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Miami.
- Japan: Tokyo, Yokohama, and Nagoya.
- Germany: Hamburg, Bremen, and Rostock.
These are just a few of the countries that are recognized as destinations for international marine transportation. For countries without access to open waters, transportation is carried out via international air, land, or combined transport.
Types of Marine Transportation
Marine transportation at Green Diamond Company, as an international shipping company, is conducted with two methods: LCL and FCL, based on the weight and volume of the cargo and considering the packaging.
- LCL: This term is used when the volume of the cargo is less than a container (20 or 40 feet). The LCL service allows multiple shipments from different owners to be grouped together in a shared container.
- FCL: The term FCL is used when a trader requires a full container for their shipment. In this service, the container is sent directly from the origin to the destination, without the need to stop at intermediate ports for reload or transfer to a new container, resulting in faster delivery compared to LCL.
The choice between the two container shipping methods, FCL and LCL, depends on the weight and volume of the shipment. Our experts will guide you in selecting the best international marine transportation method.
Cost of Marine Transportation
The experts at Green Diamond consider several factors when determining the price of marine transportation services. These factors include distance, type of goods, route, number of terminals and ports, type of contract, and the chosen service. It is recommended to register your request on the website to receive an accurate cost estimate for the services of Hanza Nav Darya.
This method of determining international transportation costs also applies to other services offered by our shipping agency. You can follow the same steps for international road, air, and combined transport to determine your budget for cargo transportation.
What Types of Goods are Suitable for Marine Transportation?
All types of goods from various industries can be transported via marine transportation. However, it is considered the best method for transporting bulk, large, and heavy goods. Additionally, liquid goods such as oil, chemical shipments, and even food products can be transported through international waters in specialized containers. Other cargoes moved via marine containers include bulk products, refrigerated goods, and industrial machinery.
The transportation of all mentioned cargo types can also be carried out through international rail transport. However, the best method of transportation depends on the distance to the destination and the regulations of that country.
Factors Affecting Shipping Time in Marine Transportation
Shipping time in marine transportation varies based on the type of cargo and the distance from the origin to the destination. The marine transportation company provides traders with approximate scheduling based on these factors. However, weather conditions may also cause delays in cargo shipment. In addition to weather, the type of cargo and distance, factors such as customs clearance regulations and port congestion can also affect shipping times. Nevertheless, Green Diamond Company is always ready to support and respond to our valued customers’ inquiries at every stage.
