Global Air Freight Forwarding Services
Air transportation is by far the fastest mode of transportation, making it ideal for businesses that need to move goods across long distances quickly. At Baum Shipping, we offer air shipping services that are reliable, efficient, and cost-effective.
Our team of experts will work with you to find the best air shipping solution for your needs. We partner with a network of airlines to offer a wide range of air shipping options, including standard, express, and even air charter services for time-sensitive shipments.
International Sea Freight Forwarding Services
Sea transportation is often the most cost-effective shipping method, making it a popular choice for businesses that need to move large volumes of goods across long distances. We offer sea shipping services that are both reliable and affordable. Our sea shipping services include full container load (FCL) and less-than-container load (LCL) shipments.
Full Container Load vs Less-Than-Container Load:
FCL – The maximum payload mass, or FCL, for a 20’ container is approximately 22 tonnes – and approximately 27 tonnes for a 40’ container.
LCL – Less-than-container load refers to situations when the cargo has small volumes or dimensions that will not take up the entire space of a container. The shipper can opt for LCL, which combines their shipment with other smaller cargoes.
