Regular Sea is the most conventional mode of transportation. In comparison to other industry counterparts, it may be referred to as Normal Sea or Standard Sea. This service serves as a cornerstone for companies, offering affordable pricing, standard shipping methods, and familiar shipping schedules. Everything is considered "reasonable" and "standard." Unlike Economical Sea Freight, which aims for discounts and rear cabin services from shipping companies, Regular Sea is widely recognized and preferred.
Regular Sea shipments from China often utilize vessels from the OA Alliance. While vessels from the 2M Alliance are cheaper, they come with longer transit times. Occasionally, when there is ample space available with Zim or Matson, we upgrade our clients' Regular Sea shipments to their containers at no extra cost.
Vessels from the OA Alliance are the most frequently booked by Chinese freight forwarders currently. They operate on fixed weekly schedules and provide reliable destination port container picking services, which significantly bolster our foundational service offerings.
Regular Sea typically does not service inland ports like Salt Lake City or Columbus. Inland barge services are too slow, and the numerous ports serviced by these large vessels significantly impact speed. Only Economical Sea Freight ventures into inland ports to ensure cost-effective shipping. As mentioned earlier regarding Economical Sea Freight, vessels bound for inland ports in the United States often have infrequent departures.
