Maritime transport

This form of transport definitely will allow you to save some money – the cost of shipping low. The "secret" is that the sea transport consumes less energy and therefore spending less fuel.

Ships useful if you are transporting equipment, oil, metals, liquid gas, building materials, and transport over long distances. For example, rice from Bangkok to Georgia, food additives from Thailand to France, a scrap from India, oil from England. Maritime transport master of several thousand containers. The containers are also easy to transport frozen foods – meat, fish, oil, semi-finished products.

we Recently had to transport the personal library of the Georgian emigrant Petre Khvedelidze from Washington to Tbilisi. It was a great collection – 40 large boxes of books and magazines that were donated to the state University. The book was not originally Packed. Partners of our company have Packed the goods sent to the port of Atlanta, where he was placed in the "grouppanel" container (General cargo), where the cargo lay, and other companies. And sent by sea to the port of Malaysia, where it is transshipped to another container and sent to the Georgian port of Poti. In the road freight remained nearly three months, but the goal was achieved – customer transportation cost is cheap and the valuable cargo was delivered safe and sound.

Even in the example it is obvious that efficiency is not among the advantages of Maritime transport. For example, from China to Georgia, the goods will be delivered in about 30-40 days. and of course, extra care loading and unloading of cargo on the car that will already deliver the goods to your door.

Prevent and weather the storm. Because the goods can stand in containers for a few days and weeks. In the port there are many ships on each of hundreds or thousands of containers in a storm force 4 points unloading is not carried out, and the result is a queue, which entails delay.

But if there is no urgency, the Maritime transport can save a substantial amount of money.
