An introduction to Sea + Air Product
Sea-Air
A cost and time efficient alternative route to the market
What Sea-Air isn’t
What is Sea-Air
 Cargo is exported from origins by ocean to an ocean/air hub transshipment

point (custom free zone operation)
Cargo is discharged from the ocean vessel container, re-palletized at the
hub and expedited onwards with airlines
Cargo proceeds as airfreight to final destination point
Cargo moved under one single document, the Multimodal Transportation
Document (MTD) from origin to destination, covering all different
transportation modes
Faster than pure Ocean, slower than pure Airfreight
Significant savings compared to direct Airfreight (+1000 kgs)

Why Sea-Air
 Cost effective both in terms of rate and transit time
 Cost savings of approximately 30% to 40% off airfreight rates
 Transit time savings of approximately 20% to 40% off ocean sailing times|
 Time to market, getting cargo to destination at the right time with the right

transport mode
Reduction in storage and inventory costs
Mitigates delays in origins with airport congestions by moving large
volumes in containers
Useful where airline capacity is limited
Ease of CFS operations and procedures
Phasing in of cargo to meet scheduled departure dates
Reduction in carbon emission levels through reduced usage of airfreight
3 common situations, 1 solution: Sea-Air
 Planned Sea-Air
 Client wants an alternative that is cheaper than direct air and with a transit time shorter
than pure ocean freight.
 Extraction
 Container arrives at seaport of feeder vessel. Before mother vessel arrives,
certain PO’s out of the total need to be air lifted
 Roll/over containers
 Container arrives at seaport on feeder vessel misses mother vessel. Client
needs the whole consignment urgently.

Carbon Emission Savings by Sea-Air
…………………………..The highest CO2 savings tool in the supply chain industry
CO2 Emission output by transport mode
Following Matrix of CO2 output is based on Door to Port comparison only. All
CO2 studies need to cover door to door emission output. Shipping industry
has adopted different methods like Slow Steaming to use less fuel and emit
lower carbon output.
The shipping industry
and Rail emits lower
amount of CO2
compared to other
modes of transport.
However the
transport industry
needs faster modes
of transport like Air
freight & Courier.
