Sea-Air is a multimodal transport solution particularly useful during peak season, faster than sea freight and cheaper than air freight. This solution saves you time and reduces costs.
On the end-of-year celebrations and the Chinese New Year, demand is increasing, supply is weakening resulting in limited spaces and a rise of prices. This effect is particularly perceived in the air freight industry. In this context, Sea-Air solutions remain a fast and economical alternative for which the costs are reduced by an average of 20 to 30% compared to air freight and offer up to 75% time savings on sea freight.
In more detail, the Sea-Air service (Mer-Air) is a multimodal transport solution in which several modes of transport are combined during a single journey, in this case, sea and air transport. Bansard International offers a Sea-Air solution from major ports in China to major European hubs via Singapore airport, with transit times between 10 and 15 days depending on the origin.
Why Singapore?
In addition to being one of the richest countries in Asia, it is also the most efficient logistics in the region, as it is currently the largest transshipment container port in the world. Singapore is connected to more than 600 ports worldwide and its airport serves approximately 6,800 flights per week to more than 330 different destinations with a transshipment time carried between 12 to 24 hours.
Transit times to Paris (CDG), London (LHR) and Amsterdam (AMS):
