Worldwide logistics

Being a global trader, we apply logistical expertise to increase our operational flexibility and more effectively capture marketplace opportunities. Our worldwide exposure to dry bulk cargo transportation gives us an excellent read of trends and risks in the freight environment.

Such capability allows us to manage a world class service for transportation of our own and our clients’ commodities. It also empowers us to provide a competitively priced management service to clients including other traders, operators, charterers and owners.

Most of our cargoes are transported in panamax, ultramax, supramax and handymax bulk carriers. Where appropriate, we can also combine inland barges, trucks and trains to provide a complete end-to-end capability.
