Sea Freight
Ship worldwide with ALS Target’s sea freight service in the GCC
If you want a cost-effective way to move cargo internationally, sea freight service is often the best choice. It’s ideal for heavy shipments, bulk goods, commercial cargo, and even personal effects when time is flexible. At ALS Target, we manage your ocean freight end-to-end—planning, documentation, pickup, port handling, customs coordination, and final delivery. Moreover, we keep it simple, so you don’t feel lost in shipping terms.
In the GCC, sea freight is a daily need—Dubai’s Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi ports, Dammam and Jeddah in Saudi, Hamad Port in Qatar, Sohar/Salalah in Oman, Khalifa Bin Salman Port in Bahrain, and Shuwaikh in Kuwait keep trade moving nonstop. Because of that, ALS Target builds GCC sea cargo solutions around real port schedules, local cut-off times, and customs requirements. So yes, we talk your language (and we do not make it complicated).
Types of Air Freight We Handle
We support multiple shipment sizes and service levels, so you can ship as per budget and urgency.
Express Air Freight
Best for urgent cargo that must fly on the earliest available flight. Additionally, it is ideal for critical business deliveries. Example : spare parts, urgent documents, medical supplies, samples.
Standard Air Cargo
A balanced option for speed and cost. Also, it fits regular import/export shipments. Common use cases: general cargo, commercial shipments, retail stock.
Groupage
If your shipment is small, consolidation helps reduce cost by sharing space. However, it may take slightly longer due to consolidation schedules. Example : small cartons, periodic exports, startup shipments.

Sea freight service is shipping cargo by ocean vessel, usually the most cost-effective option for heavy or bulk cargo.
FCL is a full container for one shipper, while LCL shares container space with other shipments.
Most times yes, especially for heavy shipments. However, sea freight is slower, so it’s best when timeline is flexible.
Transit time depends on route, port schedules, and customs clearance. Some routes take weeks, not days.
Usually by CBM (cubic meter) plus handling and local charges. Therefore, accurate measurements are important.
Commonly invoice, packing list, and sometimes COO and permits depending on destination and cargo type.
