Ocean Freight & Air Freight Services at Mercargo
Ocean Freight Services
Ocean freight is a popular mode of transportation for goods that are not time-sensitive or require a large amount of space. At Mercargo, we offer reliable and efficient ocean freight services to help businesses transport their goods across the globe.
Benefits of Ocean Freight
1. Cost-effective: Ocean freight is often more cost-effective than air freight, especially for large or heavy shipments.

Types of Ocean Freight Services
1. Full Container Load (FCL): FCL services involve shipping a full container of goods, which can be more cost-effective for large shipments.
2. Less than Container Load (LCL): LCL services involve sharing a container with other shipments, which can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments.

Benefits of Air Freight
