Shipping coconut shell charcoal briquette to the destination country is a vital part of the distribution chain. One of the most common and efficient methods for exporting charcoal briquette is by sea, using cargo ships. Below are some key aspects related to shipping charcoal briquette by sea.
1. Advantages of Sea Shipping
Large Capacity: Cargo ships have very large capacities, allowing them to transport a greater quantity in one shipment. There are 20DV, 40DV, and 40HC containers available that can accommodate a minimum of 18 tons of charcoal briquette.
Competitive Costs: Compared to air shipping, sea shipping is much more affordable, especially for heavy goods like charcoal briquette.
Wide Reach: Cargo ships can reach almost any destination country, whether in Europe, the Middle East, America, or Asia. The flexibility of shipping routes facilitates distribution to various regions of the world.
2. Shipping Process
Shipping charcoal briquette by sea requires several important steps that exporters must follow:
Documentation: Exporters must ensure that all shipping documents, such as invoices, packing lists, bills of lading (BL), certificates of origin (COO), or other documents, are complete and comply with the regulations of the destination country.
Route and Ship Schedule Planning: Each shipment requires route planning and ship departure scheduling. This depends on the availability of ships at the departure port, departure schedules, and the estimated delivery time to the destination port.
3. Shipping Challenges
Some challenges that may arise during the process of shipping charcoal briquette by sea include:
Long Delivery Times: Sea shipping usually takes longer than air shipping, particularly depending on the distance to the destination country.
Weather and Climate Conditions: Humidity at sea can affect the quality of the charcoal briquette, so it's important to ensure that the container is airtight.
Import Regulations: Some countries have specific regulations regarding charcoal imports, including permits and product quality inspections.
