Review of options for ocean freight to and from Canada in 2024
There are several options for sending ocean freight from Canada. Some options include:
-
Ocean Freight Forwarders: These companies specialize in arranging the movement of goods by ocean carrier, and can handle all aspects of the shipping process, including booking space on a vessel, preparing shipping documents, and handling customs clearance.
-
Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs): These companies offer ocean freight services, but do not own or operate their own vessels. They contract with ocean carriers to transport goods, and often offer competitive rates and a range of service options.
-
Direct Ocean Carriers: These are companies that own and operate their own vessels and offer ocean freight services directly to customers.
When choosing an ocean freight option, consider factors such as cost, transit time, and the level of service and support that best meets your needs. It is also a good idea to compare rates and services between different carriers to find the best option for you.
