Freight refers to goods or cargo transported by land, air, or sea. It plays an important role in global trade, enabling the movement of products across different countries.
Types of Freight
- Bulk Freight: Involves large quantities of goods, usually not packaged individually. Common in the shipment of commodities like grain, coal, or oil.
- Break Bulk Freight: Consists of goods that are packaged and handled separately. This category includes boxed, bagged, or palletised items.
- Containerised Freight: Goods shipped in standardised shipping containers. This facilitates easy handling in international trade.
- Project Freight: Involves transporting large, heavy, or complex items that require special handlings, such as dangerous goods and OOG cargo.
