Most of the current delays for ocean freight aren’t happening on the ocean—the yard service at ports has been congested, and consequently, ocean lines have been sailing slower so they don’t have to wait at port as long.

With Connect Trans BV anything can be shipped by ocean, three factors—size, expense and speed—tend to determine what must be shipped by this method. Here are some common goods we shipp by ocean:

• Container cargo—anything from toys and clothing to furniture and electronics.
• Liquid bulk items, including fuel and crude oil.
• Break bulk—goods shipped in crates, bags, boxes, drums or barrels without the use of a container.
• Dry bulk and raw materials.
• Roll on/roll off goods, including machinery and vehicles.
