Competitive Rates

Our long relationships and exacting negotiations with the major shipping lines make it possible for us to offer competitive rates to everywhere in the world. The rates we offer are significantly lower than the rates you could negotiate yourself if you dealt directly with the shipping lines. Our volume and longevity in the business make the difference.

Flexible Scheduling

Our long-standing relationships with carriers enable us to offer you a range of shipping-date options so that you can choose the dates that meet your needs. We can help you align your production dates with the carriers' cut-off dates for vessels destined for the ports where your goods are headed. This helps you avoid weeks of delivery delays, and reduces the risks of failing to meet the deadlines specified in your contracts.
