Sea shipment of containers is the upload procedure that requires a responsible approach and participation of a forwarding agent, the consignor and the client. We can say that the sea sending starts at the stage of receipt of the application from the client on delivery of the cargo in container. The application should include information about sender, recipient, type of container (if the client is able to determine it), the name and characteristics of the goods offered for transportation. It is the ideal conditions for beginning of work for shipment of sea container. If all data is known in advance, the cost of sea freight can be confirmed in advance. Taking into account that not every customer can provide full information about the future sending in advance, the quotation of sea freight container is given with the reservations that if you change the conditions specified in the application, the shipping cost of the sea container may also change. After receiving the application for sea shipment of container, our company contacts the sender to agree the terms of shipment, the type of the container and other. Sometimes the client doesn't understand all the nuances of the sea sending, and the shipper, as a rule, always has accurate data which we need to order the right container and to provide with faithful application to the sea line carrier.

     Further, when the cost of sending a container by sea is confirmed by the client and the sender has also given the date when the goods are ready for loading, our managers contact with the sea line for approval of container delivery to the port for loading onto the vessel. Sea line gives so called order-booking that confirms the right of freight forwarder to count on a place on the ship for its container. Booking is almost a consistent schedule of sea container, it shall include full details of the shipment and final confirmed date of loading. Typically, the container is loaded for a couple of days before the departure of the ship; all customs and other procedures should be completed in advance.

     The further procedure is simple. The sea line gives the bill of lading for the accepted container. The bill of lading includes complete data about the sender, the recipient of the goods, number and type of container, seal number, weight and name of cargo, number of packages, port of loading and port of discharge, the final place of delivery of the container and the owner of the container. Sea container can be property of the line (or the forwarding agent) or of the cargo owner. If the container belongs to the line, its abbreviation is COC, if the container does not belong to the line, it is called SOC. This difference affects the cost of sea freight, so you should calculate the options of sending in sea COC and SOC containers.
