Types of Sea Freight Services Offered by Mobin Asa Tarabar

Mobin Asa Tarabar responds to the diverse needs of its clients in international trade by offering a wide range of sea freight services. These services generally include three main categories: Container Shipping, Bulk Cargo Shipping, and Special Cargo Shipping, each with its own unique characteristics and applications. We’ll now examine each of these services in more detail:

Container Shipping (FCL/LCL)

Container shipping, as the most common method of sea freight globally, is an ideal choice for a wide range of goods due to its high security, ease of handling, and cost-effectiveness. Mobin Asa Tarabar provides two main services in container shipping, FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load), offering great flexibility to its customers:

FCL (Full Container Load): The FCL service means renting an entire dedicated container for the shipment of a single customer’s cargo. This service is very suitable for large and heavy shipments that fill the space of a container on their own. Key advantages of FCL include:
- Greater Security: Due to dedicated loading and unloading, the risk of damage and theft of goods is minimized.
- Faster Delivery: The loading and unloading process is faster.
- Suitable for Sensitive Cargo: Ideal for goods that need to be separated from other cargo.
LCL (Less than Container Load): The LCL service is designed for shipments with a volume less than a full container. In this method, shipments from multiple customers with the same destination are consolidated and shipped in one container. Key advantages of LCL include:
- Cost-Effective for Small Shipments: Customers only pay for the space occupied by their cargo.
- Enables Shipment of Small Quantities: Suitable for sending trade samples, small goods, and shipments with limited volume.
- Access to a Wide Network: Enables shipping to various parts of the world despite the small volume of the shipment.
