What Is Cheaper, Shipping By Air Or Sea?

• Air and ocean freight are different shipping
  modes but are not so different choices for a
  user. The cost and time are the only two
  significant points of difference between them as
  far as a customer is concerned. That oftentimes
  puts them in a dilemma. The debate between
  shipping by air and sea is common. There is no
  straight cut answer as to which is a better
  shipping option. The more important question is
  which is a better option for you.

• The answer may be one for you, but different for
  another. Of course, if cost is the concern, then
  ocean freight makes a cheaper alternative, but
  one must not make that decision entirely based on
  the point of cost. There are other things also
  that need to be taken into consideration when
  deciding between the ocean and air cargo service.

• Calculating the Cost
• Since this article focuses on the cost factor,
  lets talk about that. Sea cargo service is
  surely cheaper than shipping by air as far as
  flat rates are concerned, but the price you pay
  also depends on the volume of goods you have. In
  order to be sure, you need to calculate the cost
  of your shipment on a freight rate calculator.

• Pick the number of containers and their sizes and
  name the origin and destination with the
  preferred mode of shipping. The number you get is
  the price you pay for the concerned shipment. In
  all likelihood, this would be higher for air
  freight than the ocean, but its best to get it
  computed before assuming anything.

• Do not dismiss air freight categorically just on
  the point of price. It is a perfectly advisable
  shipping option when the shipping cost and the
  value of goods have a difference of 15 to 20,
  the former being lesser than the latter. But
  before calculating out the cost, you need to
  figure out if your air freight company in UAE
  will charge by weight or dimensions of your cargo
  when shipping.

• Between air and sea, the air is obviously faster
  and therefore a more preferred mode of
• shipping. Whats more, it is also safer and
  relatively more reliable. However, the only catch
  is that along with better and safer, it is also
  costlier. However, ocean freight is not a lesser
  dependable choice by any means. It may not match
  the speed of air freight, but it offers the price
  advantage which is equally lucrative for users.
