All Water
All Water means being transported exclusively by water.
All Water means being transported exclusively by water. Often we think a container is moved by a vessel across the ocean, and then transported by a different mode (such as by truck or by rail) until it reaches the next port or the destination. But sometimes, other transportation modes are not needed at all beyond ocean freight vessels. And it turns out that in some shipping trips, some containers need to be moved on water only. And when you have ocean freight moved only by water and not loaded to other types of transportation, this is considered to be All-Water Service.
