Familiarity with shipping Shipping and shipping services are part of a successful international trade, although the geographical location of a country can be an important factor in determining the type of shipping. In order for a shipping to take place, we need to have access to well-equipped cargo ships. Most of the country’s maritime transport is done through the southern seas of Iran. What goods are shipped by sea?
- Goods that have very high volumes.
- Goods that do not pose a problem for their quality due to the long arrival time. (Of course, goods that require a certain temperature can also be transported in a refrigerated container.)
- Are goods that do not lose their target due to late market arrival.
Types of shipping in shipping Depending on how far the destination of the cargo is from the place of loading and what type of goods it is and what its volume is, the type of marine vehicle can be selected.
Vehicle types are:
- Landing Craft
- dobeh
- Launch
- Ship

Cross-staffing: This method is used to transfer goods when there is no direct delivery to the country. In this method, the cargo is transferred from one ship to another and the container is changed. In other words, no shipping is going directly from the origin to the destination. In this case, for example, the cargo is loaded from a port in India and transferred to a port in the UAE. So there is a change of cargo on the ships and the carrier moves to the destination.
Chartering: This transfer method is used for two purposes: for high volume goods and for goods without packaging. For this purpose, a ship is booked for the transfer of this type of goods. The contract used in this method is a charter, which is not accepted by the bank in any way.
Transshipment: This method is used when you are faced with a lack of customs clearance for the goods and you have to transfer the goods to another customs office that gives you the relevant permit. This method is called transhipment.
Groupage transport: It is also called common transport. If the quantity of your goods is less than the volume of one container, the importer will put your cargo in the container together with others and it will be delivered to you separately at the destination of the warehouse receipt.
Bulk sea transport: In this transport, goods enter the ship without any packaging and outside the container.
