How we work
Six controlled stages, from enquiry to settlement
Every shipment follows the same path. Each stage is recorded, approved and left ready for the next one, so nothing depends on memory or a phone call.
- 01
Enquiry & quotation
We confirm cargo details, route, port of loading and discharge, then issue a quotation with the charges itemised.
- 02
Cargo receipt & yard intake
Cargo is received, measured and registered with a unique reference, then placed in a specific yard location.
- 03
Inspection & readiness
Cargo is inspected and cleared for loading; anything that does not pass stays out of the load list until it is resolved.
- 04
Load planning & stowage
The load list is built against the voyage and then executed — actual loading is recorded against the plan.
- 05
Voyage, manifest & bill of lading
The voyage runs, the manifest consolidates the loaded cargo and bills of lading are issued for each consignment.
- 06
Delivery & settlement
Release and delivery orders complete the handover at destination, and invoices and customer balances are settled.
