FORWARDING
SEAFREIGHT
Maritime transport, whether import or export, can be complicated. Therefore, it is to your advantage that there is someone who can take this matter out of your hands. We are happy to offer you our services to handle your shipment.
As recognised forwarding agent, we organise your seafreight from port to port or from door to door.
We offer you the whole package: the transport (precarriage, seafreight, oncarriage), documentation (exportdocument, Bill of Lading,...) and/or insurance.
Eventough we are familiar with transport all over the world, the majority of our lanes are export to the Far East, Middle East and West-Africa. We don’t work together with just one carrier but for every inquiry, we check the whole market, looking for the beste rate and/or transittime. Experience has learned us in the meantime which carriers are competitif for which kind of cargo to specific destinations.
We can help you with all different types of seafreight:
- LCL (Less Container Load): small goods (part loads) which are co-loaded with other goods in a container
- FCL (Full Container Load): full containers (20'DV - 40'DV - 40'HC)
- Reefers: temperature controlled containers
- Special equipment: flat rack containers, open top containers
- Breakbulk (or conventionnal shipments): goods that are too large or heavy to be shipped in a container
- RO/RO (Roll on - Roll off): seafreight of cargo on wheels such as cars, cranes,...
AIRFREIGHT
In case you have goods that needs to be shipped oversea as fast and efficient possible, we suggest you do it by air.
We can offer a door-to-door solution or just from one airport to the other. Worldwide and in both directions (import and export).
Obviously we can also take care of all customs documents required for your shipment.
If you have any further questions or a specific shipment in the near future, please contact us by phone (03 545 05 10) or send us your inquiry with all details to gmesdagh@couwels.be.
Our colleague Geert Mesdagh will be more then happy to send you an offer.
