Hello everyone! We are Bofeng Logistics, an "old sailor" who has been navigating the domestic shipping industry for over a decade. Every day, we meet many customers asking: "How does sea freight actually work? Why does one company quote this price while you quote another?"
Today, we'll break down the ins and outs of "domestic sea freight" in the simplest, most straightforward terms, so you'll have a clear picture by the end!
Why do big players prefer sea freight? It's clear when you crunch the numbers!
When your goods are bulky, heavy, or travel long distances, sea freight is definitely your "chosen one"!
Price comparison? Sea freight is the "king of cost-effectiveness"!
Imagine spending the price of one heavy truck to ship dozens or even hundreds of truckloads! For large volumes, the unit cost of sea freight is so low it'll make you smile. Let's do a simple math problem: shipping the same goods from Dalian to Guangzhou by sea costs just 1/3 to 1/2 of land transport. Every dollar saved is pure profit!
Scale comparison? It handles even the biggest "monsters"!
Whether it's massive engineering equipment or mountains of ore and grain, the ship's "big belly" easily accommodates it. Those oversized and overweight items that give trucks a headache are just "standard procedures" we can discuss solutions for in sea freight.
Environmental impact? Sea freight is a "green pioneer"!
Choosing sea freight also lightens the load for the Earth! For the same transport volume, sea freight's carbon emissions are far lower than those of planes and trucks.

Does the sea freight quote look like a foreign language? Bofeng breaks it down for you!
Say no to vague charges! We'll explain the cost of sea freight in detail.
What's included in a quote?
- Ocean freight: The main transport cost.
- Port charges: Includes THC (Terminal Handling Charge), etc.
- Land freight: Trucking fees for pick-up and delivery.
- Other fees: Such as insurance, etc.
The "five major factors" influencing price
- Shipping distance: Like a taxi, farther means more expensive.
- The goods themselves: Weight, volume, and whether they are hazardous noticeably affect the price.
- Container type: General, high-cube, reefer... prices vary.
- Market conditions: Fuel prices and peak/off-peak seasons cause price fluctuations.
- Additional services: Whether special securing or expedited service is required.
