CARGO TYPES BY SEA

General cargo

Transportation of general cargo, whether bulk or unitized, is carried out by sea in universal containers or non-standard containers. The sanitary norms and the class of goods - non-hazardous or dangerous, determine the shipment conditions.

Heavy and oversized cargo

To transport heavy and oversized cargo along sea routes, SinMar offers specialized and multifunctional large-capacity containers. These goods require high stability during loading, transportation and/or unloading. Our team has its own engineering technologists who will prepare designs and layouts for you. Thus reducing the time needed for the confirmation of the project’s technical specifications.

Dangerous goods

Dangerous goods for shipment by sea are those that pose a threat to human health and the environment. They include explosive, flammable liquids and gases, radioactive substances, poisonous and toxic chemical elements, and similar materials.
We carry out their transportation in tanks and tank-containers in compliance with local regulations together with UN and industry standards.
