FCL Container Transportation, LCL Container Transportation, Ro-Ro Transportation, Project Transportation, Multimodal Transportation
Sea freight transportation is an economical and environmentally friendly logistics method where large volumes of cargo are transported between ports by ships. It is one of the most widely used methods in international trade and forms the backbone of intercontinental commerce. One of the biggest challenges of this transportation method is the complex booking processes and extensive paperwork. This is where Tetalog steps in, offering innovative solutions to the industry.
Tetalog simplifies the sea freight transportation process by digitizing complex booking and documentation procedures. Enter your cargo details, select your transportation option, and our system will instantly provide the most suitable solutions for you.
If your cargo volume is large, Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is preferred. For smaller loads, Less than Container Load (LCL) or partial sea freight is recommended. In the LCL model, you share space within a container with other companies, gaining cost advantages. Tetalog automatically analyzes the most suitable container shipping option for your cargo, offering the most cost-effective and time-efficient solution. By choosing the appropriate sea freight model based on your cargo size, you can optimize your logistics processes.
The sea freight process proceeds smoothly with proper planning and timely procedures. The first step involves entering your cargo information into the system and making an appropriate container reservation. Then, customs procedures are completed, and the cargo is placed into the container and loaded onto the ship. The process concludes with delivery and unloading operations at the destination port. From reservation to port delivery, the shipping process offers transparency and efficiency at every stage, ensuring that shipments reach their destinations safely.
Sea transportation documents are very important for ensuring a smooth process. Many official documents are required in sea freight, and having them complete is a legal obligation. The most fundamental document is the bill of lading, which is the official proof of the transportation contract. The cargo manifest lists all the loads carried on the ship. A certificate of origin, commercial invoice, and insurance certificate may also be requested. For shipments to European Union countries, an ATR movement certificate may be necessary. In the case of hazardous materials transportation, an IMDG certificate is mandatory. Tetalog prepares all these documents on your behalf completely and manages the process digitally.
We offer export routes via sea freight transportation across a broad network that includes Europe, the Middle East, and Far East. Thanks to our global logistics network, we conduct regular departures to all continents. We organize scheduled voyages to designated ports every week. The transit time of shipments is calculated based on departure and arrival ports, transfer points, and carrier schedules. Factors such as weather conditions and port congestion can also affect delivery times. With our digital system, you can see estimated delivery dates in advance and plan accordingly.
Sea freight prices vary depending on the volume of the cargo, departure and arrival ports, container type, and the tariff of the carrier company. These factors that determine costs in maritime transportation can differ based on the size and complexity of the operation. Cargo weight and dimensions, distance, seasonal variations, and fuel prices also influence the total cost. Through online platforms, customers can quickly compare prices from multiple carriers and select the most suitable offer for themselves.
