Chapter 3: Take to the air
While en route by sea, your shipment is assigned air freight space—a mix of blocked-space agreements and free market capacity.
Unit Load Devices (ULD) assemble cargo into a single unit, offering ultimate protection and uplift without dwell time. Your shipment gets seamless synchronization between modes, significantly improving performance, speed and reliability.

Chapter 4: A sustainable proposition
Did you know that a flight emits 44 times (1) more CO2 than a ship carrying the same cargo over the same distance?
Sea-Air merges both modes to deliver on time with lower emissions than shipping by air alone.
