Sea freight is often the most economical and environmentally friendly transport solution for long intercontinental shipments. It’s particularly well- suited for large, heavy, or otherwise challenging cargo.

The price of sea freight is determined based on several factors, such as the weight of the cargo, volume, distance and scope of forwarding services. Contact our expert, and the price of your transport needs will be estimated.

Sea freight transport time depends on the selected route and its length. We provide precise schedules for your shipment when you place your transport order.

Sea freight is highly adaptable to shipments of various sizes. We handle the transport of oversized and heavy units with specialized equipment.

In addition, we offer temperature-controlled transports,
as well as transports of dangerous goods reliably on schedule. We carry out project transports and other demanding logistics solutions safely and efficiently according to the customer's needs. We transport all kinds of goods, from anywhere, to anywhere – with professionalism.

Breakbulk sea freight is ideal for goods that are too large or uniquely shaped to fit in standard containers. Items are transported individually without a container. Typical examples include industrial machinery, steel structures, pipes,
and other oversized equipment.

CHS provides air freight services globally, working with carefully selected partners. 

CHS does not offer transport insurance but recommends it for all shipments where more extensive protection is desired than the general terms of transport provide.

The transport company is responsible for physical transport, the freight forwarder acts as an intermediary and is responsible for arranging the transport, but not for the physical handling of the goods.

Our forwarding services allow you to focus on growing your business while we handle the details. Additional services include: customs clearance
documentation, loading and unloading containers as well as storage solutions.

For door-to-door delivery, we combine multiple transport modes to ensure your shipment arrives at the right place on time.

We also offer cargo emission reports to help you monitor and reduce your
carbon footprint.

FCL (Full Container Load): The entire container is reserved for one shipper. LCL (Less than Container Load): Multiple shippers share the container space. Both options provide cost-effective and reliable transport solutions, depending on your shipment size and needs. 

Bookings should be made as early as possible, as major events like the Chinese New Year, can significantly impact international delivery schedules.
