Case Study
The COVID antidote
Sea-Air is a time-sensitive alternative that avoids congestion, shut-outs and cost worries. Sea-Air solutions helped shippers avoid airfreight shortages and price spikes after airlines cut swathes of capacity on their China and Hong Kong services during the COVID pandemic.
Combining the economies of feeder vessels from China ports, with the speed of direct air freight, via our dedicated Singapore hub, Sea-Air is reliable, secure and flexible. These time-sensitive solutions are available door to door at around three times the speed of standard sea freight and a fraction of the cost of air freight.
