Trades

As a volume carrier, we can carry all cargo sizes across all trades, providing our customers with “one-stop shipping”

One-Stop Shipping

Critical mass translates into freight savings, tailor-made scheduling and unrivalled flexibility. We serve more ports and handle more cargo bookings than other drybulk operators, combine part cargoes, consolidate routes and reduce ballast legs. Our customers have all experienced our reliable service, on-time performance and flexibility.

We offer you total cargo care, reducing claims to a minimum. 102 years of experience in handling all bulk commodities including iron ore, coal, minerals, grains, agriproducts, bauxite, alumina, cement, aggregates, scrap, concentrates, as well as sensitive unitized cargoes such as windmill towers and blades, pipes, steel and forest products, have provided us with the expertise and tools to avoid costly mistakes.

We get your cargo to its destination in good shape and in an environmentally friendly manner. 

We also excel in safely combining part cargoes in our various parcel trades, resulting in lower freight rates on long-haul trades.

Our cargo clients include raw materials producers, agricultural traders, importers, exporters, steel mills, power companies and other industrial end-users. They have experienced and benefitted from our on-time performance and flexibility. Our approach is to develop a comprehensive understanding of each client’s business. That way, we can deliver bespoke solutions. Your cargo is our business.
