Keep in mind that ocean freight rates are rarely inexpensive. As previously stated, you can cut down the costs of ocean shipping rates by:
-
Sharing a container if you have an LCL.
-
Booking an order well in advance.
-
Packing items tightly and securely for efficient, quick loading.
Ocean container rates provided by most cargo ships will not include the cost of loading and unloading a container. This may cost several hundred dollars extra on top of the standard shipping costs. Compare your ocean freight quote by using a freight forwarder or logistics broker to get multiple quotes. The majority of ocean freight rates should be in the $2,000-$3,000 range, though shorter distances and smaller loads may be priced lower.
Always be sure to choose one of the more reliable ocean shipping companies based not only on their price, but also their reputation. Consider one of the following ocean freight companies for your shipment:
-
DHL
-
CMA-CGM
-
Maersk Shipping Line
-
Hapag-Lloyd
-
COSCO
Of course, the ocean shipping lines you choose from will depend on the countries you are shipping to and from. Know that not all major ocean shipping companies ship to every seaport, and ports in areas like the Middle East and Africa may be difficult to ship to, certainly if the country is involved in a major conflict.

Historically shipping costs have been calculated based on the gross weight or actual weight in kilograms or pounds. However, by charging only by weight, low density packages become unprofitable for freight carriers due to the amount of space they take up in an aircraft. For example, if a carrier charged the same for shipping a pound of feathers as they do for a pound of produce it would be unprofitable.
If a shipment is less than the minimum density of the industry standard, then the actual weight is not relevant and the freight carrier will charge based on dimensional weight. Dimensional Weight is calculated as length x width x height / dimensional factor. Dimensional weight is also known as DIM weight, volumetric weight and cubed weight.
