Looking for low shipping costs, with a large volume and plenty of time? Then sea freight is the best choice for your project.
Sea freight is the best option when time is not critical. The journey to Europe begins at the port of Hong Kong. The ship sails via Singapore, India, Africa and Spain before reaching Antwerp, which takes 4–5 weeks depending on the weather at sea. From Antwerp the goods travel to Switzerland by lorry, which takes another 1–2 weeks.
Delivery time: 6–8 weeks
Your advantages
- Goods for an event are well suited to sea freight, because planning often starts months ahead and there is no time pressure
- No urgent delivery date? Allow a few more weeks and save half the transport costs
- Combine orders and share the cost of one container
- On critical stretches the convoy has a military escort to protect the ships against piracy
