International shipping refers to the facility of international trade using standard containers for large container ships. The ship comes and goes from ports to ports in fixed routes. Upon getting to a port, we unload some of the goods at the front ports and collect the goods from that port to be shipped.
International sea freight has a crucial position in international trade, and it is the primary way to promote the development of global economic integration in recent decades. In today's international logistics, more than 80% goods are transported by sea freights. Whether it is China to the United States, or China to Europe, Africa, Australia and Southeast, Asia International shipping is carrying Chinese products to the world.

Advantages of international sea freight
1. The shipping route is always stable. The sea freights have fixed weekly voyages. The shipping company has its route which does not change basically for a year. So you can easily order a shipment according to the shipping company’s schedule and route. 2. The sea freights can load thousands of containers at once. No any other means of transport can do that. 3. If the large container’s size occupies 1% of the volume of ship, then the shipping costs for many routes will be negligible 4. The containers are specially designed to protect the cargo. When the goods are loaded into the containers at the factory, they are secured and strictly locked. Then the containers are only unlocked when they arrive at the destination and the customer unpacks them. So in the process of port loading, port unloading the goods will not be moved. 5. The standard container has a unified design. So the container can be transported from China’s inland to the port, then from port to the ship, then to the destination port and then from there, it can be carried through train or truck without any problem. In short, the standard containers provide efficient and seamless docking of International Transport.
