The term refers to the transportation of goods over short distances by ship, typically along coastlines or between nearby ports. In contrast to long-distance sea transport, short-sea shipping focuses on regional or European routes and offers a cost-effective and more sustainable transport solution for large volumes of goods.
Short sea vessels can transport steel, aluminum, paper, wood, grain, sand, gravel, liquids, bulk, breakbulk, oversized project cargo, and much more.
The duration of transportation by short sea varies depending on the route and distance. The exact duration depends on various factors such as weather conditions, traffic volume and stopovers. You can always keep a close eye on delivery times using our online tracking system.
