On behalf of shippers, freight forwarding include strategic logistics strategy and execution for the international transportation of commodities. A freight forwarder's responsibilities include, among other things, freight rate negotiations, container tracking, customs documentation, and freight consolidation.
Preparation of shipping and export paperwork, tracking inland transportation, warehouse management, negotiating freight prices, booking cargo space, freight consolidation, filing of insurance claims, and cargo insurance are all services provided by freight forwarding businesses.
An ocean freight forwarder is a company that specialises in moving cargo via ship. This specialisation allows ocean forwarders to know exactly how to complete any shipment and to form the required contacts to obtain the best ocean rates, which they can subsequently pass on to their customers.
A freight forwarder's primary responsibility is to gather and combine consignments that are less than a truckload or a container load, and to secure common carrier transportation for the consolidation's long-haul transit, thereby increasing efficiency and lowering transportation costs.
Freight forwarders serve as a link between the company that ships the goods and the final destination for the products. They offer different forms of transportation, such as sea/ocean freight, rail freight, road transport, and air freight shipment, even though they do not carry out the shipments directly.
