Ocean freight
Ocean freight is the most suitable mode of transport when volume, scheduling, and cost control are more important than speed. Compared to air and rail transport, ocean freight is the best solution for larger shipments and specific products or materials, such as machinery or textiles. EMQ Logistics has extensive experience with international ocean freight shipments across various sectors and import flows. We provide this service internationally, with fixed routes and reliable partners worldwide.
