We provide customers with LCL (Less Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load) services to multiple destinations. We can handle your pick ups locally and nationally to facilitate your LCL consolidations. Co-ordinating your FCL cargo can be done locally (multiple stops), and nationally at your supplier.
Our core business includes ocean consolidation and shipping services as well as distribution logistics. We are licensed and bonded by the US Federal Maritime Commission as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC).
