It will probably depend on the type of shipment we want to make and our destination. And it is that there are different types of containers for maritime transport, which adapt to our needs. That is why it is worth it that we let ourselves be guided by our freight forwarders. Types of containers for maritime transport Shipping containers are usually made of steel to ensure cargo protection. In addition, they have insulating systems and standardized measurements (20 and 40 feet long). The most common containers are: - Dry Van and Reefer. They are the most common containers and the latter incorporate an adjustable thermostat. - Open top and Open side. In addition to the main door, they have a roof or a folding side, to allow the introduction of large loads. The Flat Rack has the characteristics of both, since it does not have a roof or sides. - Cistern and Flexitank. They are used to transport liquids and grain, and differ in their external structure. While the first is open, the second is closed. Warehousing and Logistics Por supuesto, si ninguna de estas opciones nos convence, siempre podemos optar por otros medios de transporte. Cada uno de ellos tiene sus ventajas e inconvenientes. Transporte Aéreo El transporte aéreo es más caro que el transporte maritimo. Sin embargo, el tiempo del trayecto se recorta enormemente. De modo que cabe considerarlo para envíos urgentes de bultos reducidos. Transporte Terrestre El transporte terrestre suele combinarse con el marítimo y el aéreo. También se puede utilizar para realizar el envío completo. Es relativamente económico y muy versátil. El consejo de los transitarios En definitiva, teniendo todas estas opciones lo mejor es que consultemos al agente de aduanas en Valencia, así como a nuestros transitarios, que nos garantizarán las vías de transporte más seguras, rápidas y económicas.
