What is Sea Freight Transportation?
Maritime transportation is an international logistics solution that allows cargo to be transported between ports via ships. The method, which dates back hundreds of years, has become one of the most widely used ways of trade today.
Maritime transportation, which enables the economic and safe transportation of large volumes of cargo over long distances, connects continents thanks to the strong networks established between ports around the world. It is preferred in many sectors such as energy, automotive, textile, construction and food. It offers a reliable logistics infrastructure especially for companies engaged in foreign trade.
Maritime transportation also stands out with its environmental friendliness. In this type of transportation, carbon emissions are lower compared to other types of transportation. In this respect, it is at the center of sustainable logistics policies. At the same time, it increases operational efficiency thanks to the ability to transport large amounts of cargo at once.
The use of containers in maritime transportation ensures standardization. The placement of cargoes in accordance with the dimensions determined worldwide speeds up operations. Minimizes the risk of damage in transportation. Negativities such as time loss and cost increase are prevented.
In Which Situations is Sea Transportation Preferred?
In the case of heavy and bulky loads, maritime transportation stands out in terms of cost and capacity. Products such as industrial equipment, machinery, raw materials and bulk cargoes that are difficult to transport by road or air can be shipped economically by sea.
The maritime transportation method saves both time and resources for long distances. Regular routes between ports and high-tonnage ships make the transportation process more efficient. At the same time, shipments made with container systems allow for safer and more organized transfer of cargo.
Global trading companies prefer this method, especially in overseas markets. In long-term supply chain planning, the need for shipments in large batches arises. Maritime logistics meets this need in the best possible way and makes it possible to manage delivery times consistently.
Regular sailings and infrastructure in compliance with international standards, especially for container-based transportation, support the smooth running of operational processes. This ensures on-time, complete and trouble-free delivery of products.
Modern Logistics develops customized solutions for the needs of its customers. It professionally manages every step of the process with its international port network and expert staff.

Customs clearance and insurance services are carried out meticulously to ensure the safety of the process. All document and paperwork management is organized by expert teams. The route of the cargo is planned according to predetermined analyzes. We work with transparent pricing and on-time delivery guarantee for all types of cargo. In this way, operational processes are optimized.
The types of containers used in maritime transportation vary according to the characteristics of the cargo to be transported. Each container type is designed to meet different needs.
- Standard (Dry) containers are an ideal option for all types of general cargo. Their closed structure protects products from external factors.
- Reefer containers are used for products that require temperature control such as fresh food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals with their special cooling systems.
- Open top containers, with their open top structure, are suitable for high volume materials that require loading with the help of a crane. They are especially preferred for the transportation of building materials and machinery as they provide easy access from the top.
- Flat rack containers are the best choice for large, heavy and potentially overflowing loads thanks to their special design without side walls. This type of container is frequently used especially in the construction sector, heavy industry and infrastructure projects.
Before the loading process, the appropriate container type is determined, taking into account the type, volume and sensitivity level of the material to be transported. The transportation route and logistics planning are then detailed. Preliminary preparation increases operational efficiency and prevents possible delays and damage risks.
Modern Logistics cooperates with strategic ports around the world. It has a widespread network in Turkish ports, especially Mersin, Izmir, Ambarlı, Derince and Samsun. Abroad, we work with ports in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In this way, shipment times are optimized and transit times are accelerated. Port-based agreements facilitate customs and handling processes.
From the beginning to the end of the transportation process, every step is systematically monitored. Modern Logistics uses advanced digital infrastructures that allow instant tracking of the status of the cargo. Thanks to this system, transparency and information are prioritized at every stage of transportation.
Before the cargo is loaded onto the ship, customs records are meticulously examined, insurance documents are issued and loading instructions are checked. After the loading process is completed, the route of the shipment is activated on the system and estimated arrival times are determined. Situations such as weather conditions, port congestion or technical problems that may be encountered during transportation are analyzed in advance and necessary notifications are made. In case of any delay, customers are informed immediately.
After delivery, the whole process is finalized digitally. The complete submission of the documents certifies that the delivery is officially completed. Thanks to this order, customers can easily follow the shipment process and all logistics operations. Data flow and document sharing throughout the process support the smooth progress of operations and maximize customer satisfaction.
