Expeditors
combines multiple modes of transportation seamlessly to offer a cost-saving alternative to airfreight shipments through our Sea+Air and Air+Sea
services. As disruptions in the Red Sea continue, and Asia-Europe shipments experience longer transit times due to the rerouting of ocean carrier services around Africa, Sea+Air is becoming an increasingly valuable option for businesses seeking to avoid the ripple effects caused by the Red Sea disruptions.
Sea+Air and Air+Sea Service Attributes
- Reduced supply chain costs compared to a full airfreight transportation solution.
- An optimal combination of speed and cost, with the benefit of combining economical ocean transport with high-speed air transport.
- Effective routes and greater coverage, offering traditional trade lanes and non-standard routings.
- A simplified process similar to any air export or gateway shipment moving on an end-to-end shipping documentation, with a single transportation document House Air Waybill (HAWB).
- A single per-kilogram rate covering all transportation and combining all transshipment costs from the seaport of origin up to the airport of arrival if Sea +Air, or from the airport of origin up to the seaport if Air+Sea.
- End-to-end real-time visibility on all Sea+Air and Air+Sea shipments is provided through EXP.O?NOW
, Expeditors’ digital platform, to provide global shipment tracking and reporting.
- Carrier selection guarantees that Expeditors only uses reliable airlines with pre-existing allocations to ensure and plan capacity to/from strategic transshipment gateways more efficiently. We do not use any agents or co-loaders, and the specialized air and ocean carriers we use put our cargo on priority.

8 个月It's a good idea. I have questions, 1) what about the clearance time at the transit destination? 2) How it will come at a cheaper rate? It's almost a minimum of three-mode transportation including Air, Road/Rail and waterway. In the end, It will increase my time and cost.
