Shipping and Inland Barging

Economies of Scale

We charter with only first-class owner/operators and brokers on a variety of vessel sizes and identify the lowest cost ocean shipping and inland transportation alternatives.

Analysis and Trends

We closely track the world bulk shipping market and analyze current pricing trends.

Freight Estimates

We provide Ocean, Great Lakes, and inland river barging and freight estimates, with the goal of identifying lowest cost ocean shipping and inland transportation alternatives.

Layout Inspection and Development

We carefully inspect port, berth terminal, layouts, to ensure they meet our customers’ logistical requirements.

Vetting and Verification

We vet and verify the suitability and capability of every ship and owner/operator with which we contract and provide ship and barge cargo quantity and quality services.

Scheduling and Logistics

We develop and maintain transportation schedules based on customer requirements, cargo quantities, shippers’ production capabilities, stem requirements, load and discharge rates and ocean routing or inland river steaming times.

Tracking

We distribute schedules and compulsory notices to shippers, receivers, and agents with online delivery tracking, and updated ETAs, at least daily.

Proving the Economy of Scale​

Much of it , more than 3,800 river barges, were loaded in New Orleans, LA for delivery up the Mississippi river as far as Chicago, IL

An astonishing combined ocean and river voyage of 17,790 nautical miles.
