FAQ
What is sea freight forwarding?
Sea freight forwarding means moving goods across oceans using cargo ships. At Triroute Shipping, we handle the entire process—from booking containers and managing paperwork to customs clearance and final delivery. Whether you're shipping full containers or just a few pallets, sea freight is a reliable and cost-friendly way to move large or heavy cargo internationally. We coordinate routes, handle port logistics, and stay in touch with you throughout the journey.
How long does sea freight take from Dubai?
Transit times vary. GCC routes take 3–7 days, while Europe or Asia may take 20–40 days depending on the port. Contact us for more information.
Do you offer both FCL and LCL options?
Yes, we offer both. FCL (Full Container Load) is best when you need the entire container to yourself—ideal for larger or high-value shipments. LCL (Less than Container Load) is great for smaller shipments, where you share space with others. At Triroute Shipping, we help you pick the right option based on your cargo size, budget, and delivery urgency. Both options include customs support, tracking, and secure handling.
Can I track my sea shipment in real time?
Absolutely. Triroute Shipping provides real-time tracking for all sea freight shipments. Once your cargo is on the move, we’ll share tracking details so you can monitor progress from port to port. We also send updates at key milestones—like when your shipment is loaded, cleared, and delivered. Our team is always just a message or call away if you need help or more info.
Is sea freight cheaper than air freight?
Yes, in most cases, sea freight is more cost-effective than air freight, especially for large or heavy shipments. While it takes longer, it’s a great choice when speed isn’t critical. At Triroute Shipping, we help clients balance cost and delivery needs—so if you’re looking to save money and don’t need ultra-fast delivery, sea freight is often the smart choice.
How do sea freight companies in Dubai differ from traditional logistics firms?
Sea freight companies like Triroute Shipping specialize in ocean shipping, handling everything from container bookings and documentation to customs and port logistics. Traditional logistics firms might offer warehousing, road transport, or last-mile delivery, but may not have the same expertise or carrier network in ocean freight. Since Dubai is a major global shipping hub, our sea freight team has deep local knowledge and global reach—giving you a smoother, more reliable shipping experience.
