Sea freight for traders, manufacturers and freight forwarders
Do you export regularly – or would you like to? We ship your containers from Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam and Antwerp all over the world: with export customs clearance, container loading and online tracking from a single source. Personal service from Hamburg and fast quotes.
Who we work for
Traders & exporters
You sell abroad – we get the goods there. Machinery, food, building materials or raw materials: we collect from your supplier, handle export customs and book the right container.
Our shipping routes →Manufacturers & producers
Regular exports need a partner who thinks ahead: dedicated contacts, professional cargo securing, the exit confirmation for your accounts – and whenever we load your container, always with loading photos.
Container loading →Freight forwarders & logistics providers
You have the customer, we have the sea freight: we handle booking, processing and tracking of your export shipments from the North Range ports – crosstrades included. Tracking e-mails to your customers name your company as the principal.
Tracking →Car dealers
Sold a vehicle abroad? We collect it from your premises, prepare the export declaration and ship it in a container – also individually in a shared container.
