Ocean freight also has different advantages, financially, with heavy cargo and environmentally friendly. This type of transportation, which is frequently preferred in the world, plays an effective role in ocean freight, such as load weight, weather conditions, and budget.
Types of Ocean Freight
Ocean freight types are considered as two main topics, tramp, and liner. Both types of help achieve gains from different angles. Ocean freight, which may differ according to the cargo and ship class, is also classified into five different parts.
Tramp transport, irregular transport, is a type of transport that is made between two different ports with a certain load and has no specific time or date. Underground mines are because materials can be loaded on the entire or large part of the ship where valuable materials such as crude oil, timber, and coal can also be transported at once.

In the transport, which allows the carrying of different types of products together and easy transfer realization, the loads are carried in chests with large dimensions made in accordance with international standards.
Ships are categorized based on their type, including dry cargo, liquid load (tanker), container, Ro-Ro ships that transport wheeled vehicles, and bulk carriers.
