Sea transport often involves long transit times and exposure to various environmental conditions, making professional and compliant packaging critical. Moisture, salinity, temperature fluctuations, and vessel movement can all impact the integrity of cargo.
To prevent damage, companies use durable packaging materials, proper palletization, certified strapping systems, and container-load stabilization techniques. Standards such as ISPM 15 for wooden packaging are mandatory and widely enforced.
Appropriate labeling, adequate ventilation, and selecting the right type of container—whether refrigerated, open-top, or standard—play an important role in securing shipments. Following these guidelines minimizes risks and strengthens customer confidence in maritime logistics operations.
