Countless businesses choose sea freight services for their shipping needs. Companies across the UK trust sea freight solutions to ensure their goods are transported efficiently from one destination to another.

Our goal is to empower clients with complete transparency about their sea freight options, allowing them to make informed decisions with confidence. Whether it’s a large shipment or specialized cargo, we’ve got you covered.

Tramping vs. Linear Transportation – Choosing the Right Sea Freight Solution

There are two main types of sea freight shipping: tramping and linear transportation.
  • Tramping is an on-demand charter service, typically not offered on regular shipping lines. It’s ideal for businesses transporting raw materials such as wood, iron, crude oil, and coal, providing flexibility for irregular shipping needs.
  • Linear transportation, on the other hand, is a highly controlled, punctual service with fixed routes and scheduled shipping intervals. This type of service ensures timely delivery and reliable operations.
Unlike tramping, linear transportation doesn’t require shipments to be at full capacity, making it a great solution for most sea freight services, like the ones offered by Sovida Global.
