Your container may be a small fraction of a vessel's load, on a ship that calls at several ports before it reaches yours. A great deal can happen in between.
We book only with carriers we have vetted and continue to audit, and we track each box through every transhipment rather than handing it to the line and waiting for an arrival notice. When a vessel is delayed or a connection is missed, you hear it from us first, with the revised plan already attached.
For full container loads we offer sole-use and shipper-owned equipment, with seal verification photographed at stuffing and at destination. Where value warrants it, a supercargo travels with the vessel — routine for bullion and museum loans, and available for anything else.
