They have been competing for decades, raising the ante in the transportation industry in speed and cargo capacity. Shipping vehicles between continents isn\u2019t complicated, as you have to choose the only one of these options. However, deciding between them requires a careful study of the advantages and disadvantages of both. In this blog, we\u2019re going over the pros and cons of air and sea freight services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Understanding the key differences between air and sea freight services<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"air and sea freight services\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-2-1000x563.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two are completely different transportation modes differing in speed, load capacity, the way cargo is handled, and most important, costs. Prices for both services are calculated differently. While price for a single sea freight shipment is calculated by tons\/cubic meters, air shipping services use chargeable weight.&nbsp; This is determined either by the gross or volumetric weight of the cargo you\u2019re going to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2019\/05\/16\/3-things-to-consider-before-shipping-your-car-internationally\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ship internationally<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most air freight forwarding companies calculate the weight assuming a dimensional factor of 6,000 cubic centimeters per kilogram. That is why air freight prices can alter drastically if you\u2019re shipping anything weighing more than half a ton.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Air cargo shipping: pros and cons<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1831\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"air and sea freight services\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-3-1000x563.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-3-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air freight is the fastest method to ship a car. Nevertheless, that speed doesn\u2019t come without a heavy price tag, so shipment by air continues to be the most expensive option within the industry. Air shipments require less handling because of strict airport regulations, as cargo is unitized and sorted by airport supply chain workers before international air freight. This increases the safety of your cargo through additional packaging a shipment receives during unitizing, which further helps prevent damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"air and sea freight services\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-1-1000x563.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Air-and-Sea-Freight-Services-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air cargo shipping isn\u2019t frequently used for shipping bulky, heavy, or oversized items because of weight restrictions and aircrafts\u2019 limited carrying capacity.
