About This Service
What is Sea Freight
& How Does It Work?
Sea freight (ocean freight) is the transportation of goods in shipping containers aboard cargo vessels. It is the most cost-effective method for shipping large volumes of goods internationally, accounting for over 80% of global trade by volume.
CHACHA Prime offers both LCL (Less than Container Load) — where your cargo shares a container with other shippers — and FCL (Full Container Load) — where you rent the entire container for your goods.
We work with major shipping lines including COSCO, MSC, Maersk, Evergreen, and CMA CGM to offer you the best rates and most reliable schedules from China to your destination.
