For businesses in Pakistan looking to expand their operations, importing goods from China is a critical step. While air freight offers speed, for bulk shipments, heavy machinery, or non-urgent inventory, the most economical and strategic choice is sea freight cargo. At EB Logistics, we specialize in providing tailored sea freight solutions that simplify the entire import process, ensuring your goods arrive safely, on time, and at a predictable cost.

The Strategic Advantages of Sea Freight Cargo

Choosing sea freight isn't just about saving money; it’s about optimizing your supply chain for profitability and growth.

• Cost-Effectiveness for Bulk Shipments: Sea freight cargo is significantly more economical than air freight, especially for large volumes. This is because ocean vessels can transport thousands of containers at once, spreading the cost across a vast quantity of goods. This is crucial for businesses dealing in raw materials, textiles, or consumer goods where every dollar saved per unit directly impacts the bottom line. The current market rates in August 2025 show a stability in sea freight costs, making it a great time to secure bulk shipments.

• Capacity for All Sizes: Whether your shipment is large enough to fill an entire container or just a few pallets, sea freight provides a solution.

  • Full Container Load (FCL): If your goods are substantial enough to fill a 20-foot or 40-foot container, FCL is the most cost-effective and secure option. Your cargo is sealed at the origin and remains untouched until it reaches the destination port, minimizing the risk of damage or loss.

  • Less than Container Load (LCL): For smaller volumes, LCL allows you to share container space with other shippers. You only pay for the volume your goods occupy, making it an excellent choice for businesses with limited or sporadic import needs. While LCL may have a slightly longer transit time due to consolidation, it offers incredible flexibility and cost savings.

• Superior for Heavy and Bulky Items: Unlike air cargo, which has strict weight and size limitations, sea freight is designed to handle virtually any type of cargo, from industrial machinery and construction materials to vehicles.
