At Synergie Canada, we take pride in collaborating with the world’s leading shipping lines to bring you top-tier ocean freight services. Our goal is to provide reliable and high-quality sea transport solutions that are cost-effective and tailored to your specific shipping needs.

Our Different Ocean Freight Solutions

A multitude of ocean freight options are available, encompassing the entire supply chain, from shipment to delivery. Here is a full range of our sea transport services tailored to your specific logistics needs.

Container shipping
Our flexible options meet your needs. We offer both full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) shipments. Maritime transport is the most common mode of transportation, using standardized containers for the transportation of merchandise. The choice of container type will depend mainly on the nature of the merchandise, including its dimensions and specific characteristics.

These are the five main types of containers used in maritime transport:

• Dry van containers (20-foot containers, 40-foot containers, 40-foot high cube containers and 45-foot containers)
• Open top containers
• Flat rack containers
• Reefer containers
• ISO tank containers

Ocean Freight Consolidation Services
Our consolidation services are ideal for small shipments that can be grouped together in a single container. This makes it possible to optimize shipping costs.

Intermodal Services
Our integrated intermodal solutions guarantee smooth inter-port logistics by combining various modes of transportation for greater efficiency and convenience.

Why Choose Maritime Transport Over Another Type of Transportation?

Maritime transport is an ideal solution, as it allows large quantities of goods to be transported over long distances and at a competitive cost. As ship transport is generally slower, it is not always suitable for urgent or smaller goods.

Highly Competitive Cost per Unit

For large quantities of goods, marine freight shipping tends to be more cost-effective per unit than other transport options, such as air or land transport. This makes it particularly attractive for mass-produced consumer goods and bulk raw materials.

High Freight Capacity

Cargo ships can carry significant volumes of goods, which is ideal for companies that need to transport large quantities of merchandise.

Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Means of Transportation

Maritime transport is the most environmentally friendly option for long-distance travel. Although not carbon-neutral, it emits less greenhouse gases per tonne-kilometre than air transport.

Also, some more sustainable shipping options exist, such as fuel-efficient ships.
