<h1 class="mt-0">What is sea freight, and why do we use it?</h1>
<p>Sea freight is one of the most widely used transportation modes for shipping cargo. Sea freight transport is the most preferred method when shipping large quantities of certain goods. Bulky cargo is usually transported by sea, in big containers. Sea freight transportation is one of the slowest shipping methods, but it is also one of the cheapest and safest transport options.</p>
