The cost of ocean freight forwarding is affected by several factors, including the type and size of the shipment, the distance and route of transportation, the weight and volume of the cargo, and any additional services that may be required, The type of shipment, whether it is full container load (FCL) or less than container load (LCL), can impact the cost as FCL allows for more efficient use of space and may be more cost-effective for larger shipments, The distance and route of transportation also play a role in determining the cost, as longer distances and more complex routes may require more resources and time, The weight and volume of the cargo also affect the cost, as heavier and larger shipments may require additional handling or equipment, resulting in higher costs.
