Sea freight
We are proud to have the head office of our company in the beautiful port city of Riga. This is the reason why container cargo transportation (including our own LCL consolidations) via Baltic ports is the key focus of our company.
Thanks to our contracts with many ocean steamship carriers, we can pick the most reasonable mode of transportation depending on your specific requirements. For example, if the terms of delivery allow you to extend the delivery times, we’ll find the most economical option for you or, if the opposite is the case, we will be sure to provide the fastest available option if your shipment is urgent.
Many freight-forwarding companies work with only one or two steamship lines, which makes them less flexible. We work differently:
- No matter where your shipment is, our agents will pick the best carrier and will arrange everything that needs to be done at the port of loading.
- After that, our operations specialists will receive the goods at the port of Riga, Klaipeda or another European port and arrange further transportation to the final destination.
- The same chain of transportation is applied to export cargo from the Baltic countries.
Thanks to our own warehouse in Riga, we can hold your shipment at our warehouse until you find a buyer for your product. Furthermore, our warehousing fees will always be cheaper than those of other companies who don’t have their own storage facilities.
The company developes a multimodal transportation system relevant to our clients needs providing full range of services.
Our operations specialists often include railroad transportation in the offer to our clients for multimodal type of cargo transportation. Our specialists will be happy to give you a free consultation about any cargo transportation because we are certain that fruitful cooperation starts with pleasant and professional communication.
