The internet has truly created a global economy, making it easier than ever to import and export Oil products such as Gasoline and Petrol. Air freight is a speedy and easy way to transport goods, but it comes with a price. As a general rule, shipping by sea is the most cost-effective option; however, there are exclusions.

The chargeable weight of a fuel shipment is determined by the weight and size of the barrels. You have the option of shipping a full tank load or a ‘less than container load’ with marine carriers (usually calculated by tons). As a result, shipping lower and lesser fuel products by air may actually be less expensive.

You should also consider about the value of the additional benefits of air freight. It’s a significantly faster shipping technique, for example, which could be beneficial to your company. It’s also a more reliable approach because air freight carriers frequently run daily schedules, thus delays have less of an influence on timelines. Sea cargo carriers are more likely to operate on weekly schedules, so if a consignment ‘misses the boat,’ it will have a greater impact on delivery timeframes – but a freight forwarder with a robust network would always try to minimise this.
