Keep your options open
Often, project freight can't be shipped using regularly scheduled conventional liner services. Urgently needed parts and equipment may require the expedited handling that only air freight can offer. When you need specialized, innovative transport options, our reliable ocean and air charter service—backed by our track record, extensive experience and excellent relationships with carriers—can provide solutions.
Ocean vessel charters
We charter part and full vessels for a wide range of commodities shipping worldwide to allow our client to meet their contractual obligations. Our skilled, experienced staff negotiates booking note terms and conditions that protect your interests and mitigate your risk. We identify the specific vessel requirements, book the appropriate space with an approved stow-plan and identify expected port rotation en route. We also:
