International Shipping Companies from Egypt

Containers are rectangular rooms made of iron in various sizes which are responsible for protecting goods and merchandise from loss or damage when shipping them from one country to another. International shipping companies from Egypt have containers with different specifications to meet all customer needs.

The most important and well-known types of containers are as follows:

• Regular containers, also known as dry containers, are used to ship dry goods that are not affected by different temperatures. These containers come in different sizes and can carry between 15 and 30 thousand tons.
• Refrigerated containers are specialized containers used to transport all goods that must be kept at low temperatures, from vegetables and fruits, to beverages, dairy products, meat, seafood and others, to medicines and medical supplies that must be kept at low temperatures.

These containers are equipped with modern, advanced cooling systems that control temperatures, ensuring that goods remain in high quality until they reach their destination.

These containers are also equipped with drainage systems to remove excess moisture and water resulting from condensation, which helps to protect goods from damage.

• Liquid Cargo containers are used to transport goods such as chemicals, oil, gas, oils and others.

These containers are also known as tankers and come in different sizes. 

In most cases, they do not have a roof. 

These containers are the least used compared to other types of containers. International shipping companies are now keen to transport liquid cargo in more innovative and safer ways that protect it from mixing and contamination.

One of the most important modern methods and innovations for transporting liquid goods is flexible containers, also known as flexible bags because they are made of environmentally friendly and recyclable silk materials.

They are also very durable and can transport up to 24,000 liters of liquid in a single container.

International shipping is considered one of the best shipping methods due to its speed which is the most important factor for many companies or individuals who want to transport parcels and goods. With air freight, shipments can arrive in just 1-5 days.

Another advantage is that it is available to all countries around the world, in addition to its high security and suitability for sensitive materials and products.

Shipments can also be easily tracked.

The disadvantage of international air freight is its high cost which is the highest among other shipping methods.

Therefore, it is not an ideal choice for companies that transport large goods on a regular basis.

It is suitable for small parcels for individuals or companies and small shipments.

Sea freight is the most common and widespread method of shipping because it is the least expensive and most suitable for large shipments, goods and containers.

Therefore, it is suitable for large companies that rely on continuous shipping for their trade or business.

The abundance of international shipping companies from Egypt to all countries of the world is attributed to Egypt’s location and its presence on two of the most important seas, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, in addition to the Suez Canal which makes sea shipping easier and less expensive and encourages investment in the development and establishment of international shipping companies from Egypt.

The disadvantage of sea freight is that it is considered the slowest in terms of delivery time, sometimes taking more than a month to arrive. Tracking shipments is also more difficult and less accurate and it requires complex procedures such as customs clearance and many logistical services such as loading, unloading, storage, transportation and others.
