Our procurement team has negotiated ocean freight since 1997. We work alongside you as your accountable, carrier-neutral partner, with a service built around your lanes, your volumes and your targets.
Two ways to procure ocean freight with us.
Ship on the pooled rates we already hold, or build an exclusive mandate around your own lanes, volumes and service levels. Same independence, same negotiators, same team.
Pooling: Shared volume. Established leverage. Contracts built to move cargo.
Pooling combines the volumes of multiple shippers under established ocean freight contracts. Across selected major trade routes and commodity flows, these contracts provide access to highly competitive rates, strong commercial side terms and high contractual priority for space and equipment with major global carriers and selected niche carriers.
Many of these contract relationships have been built over more than two decades. As the collective volume has grown, so has the standing of the agreements with carrier partners. The result is a proven procurement platform designed to perform when cargo needs to move.
Capacity within the pool is shared, giving shippers who forecast and book early a clear advantage. Every additional participant strengthens the collective volume and the negotiating position for what comes next.

Exclusive: Your volume. Your requirements. A procurement strategy built around both.
Exclusive procurement is designed for shippers with larger volumes, specific service requirements or a preference for dedicated carrier agreements rather than shared contracts. It provides greater planning security and supply chain resilience while allowing us to support selected procurement activities or take ownership of the full ocean freight procurement scope, including direct management of carrier relationships on your behalf.
Our procurement specialists have managed tenders on both the shipper and carrier sides of the table. We understand how carriers assess opportunities, where negotiations can lose momentum and how to reach the right decision-makers. This helps secure not only a competitive rate for you, but a commercially sound solution with the service levels, capacity and reliability your supply chain requires.
From an isolated rate request to a full end-to-end tender, and from monthly or quarterly validity to annual agreements, the mandate is shaped around your business and preferred level of control.
