Sea Transport Services
Padayappa Transport provides reliable sea freight solutions for businesses looking to move cargo efficiently and cost-effectively across international and domestic ports. Partnering with trusted shipping lines, we handle both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) movements. From booking space to documentation, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery, we ensure your sea shipments are managed with transparency, safety, and reliability.
How It Works
- Requirement Mapping – identify shipment type, size, lanes, and timelines.
- Transparent Quote – competitive FCL/LCL pricing with clear inclusions.
- Container Allocation – appropriate container type (20 ft, 40 ft, reefer, open-top).
- Cargo Movement – coordination with shipping lines, port handling, and documentation.
- Final Delivery – clearance, inland transport, and POD confirmation.
Sea Freight Models We Support
There are numerous benefits and disadvantages when shipping ocean freight. We want to be transparent about both, so you know whether this is the best option for you.
- Full Container Load (FCL) – dedicated container for bulk shipments.
- Less than Container Load (LCL) – shared container for cost-effective smaller shipments.
- Reefer Container Transport – temperature-controlled cargo like food, pharma, perishables.
- Breakbulk Cargo – heavy or oversized goods not suited for container transport.
