CONSOLIDATED OCEAN FREIGHT

Consolidation of freight is a common practice that allows a company to pool together shipments from different individuals into one larger shipment.  This practice offers a lower price for all participants since the consolidators is able to command a better rate by committing to buy shipping space at bulk rates.  Another savings to the individual is the cost of documentation, since each shipment requires its own paperwork regardless of  value or size. As an individual you rely on the vessel owner/operator to prepare the documentation and pay the charge for his work. A consolidator assumes the responsibility to prepare the paperwork and by doing so the different shipments become one incurring only one expense.

Ocean freight is measured and charged differently than air freight. The main factor is how much volume or space the box occupies in the shipping container. The box is measured on three dimensions in inches, multiplied and divided by a specific factor.




The vessel owner / operator charges by cubic feet or meters, there is a minimum shipping charge in addition to the documentation charge, and other related charges. RasXpress rates are all inclusive (freight, security and fuel surcharge). The only additional charge will be customs duties if any, depending on the commodity being shipped.
