Dry
For Dry Cargo we operate as a carrier with our owned huge fleet of 20s, 40HCs. Because of the huge sized owned fleet, we enjoy the edge to serve with full coverage of all the major regions like Middle East / Indian Sub-Continent / South East. Asia, China / Europe / Mediterranean / South America / United States / East Africa.
Apart from that, number of our weekly sail offers from each port is greater than any of the main liners. Because for each port pair we offer multiple sailings, with multiple carriers under our own slots agreements with them. Clients that work with main liners get a choice of one service per week, but when they work with us the choice of multiple sails per week gives them a good grip on the service pattern. We serve our customers according to their needs to meet satisfaction level.
Our slot rate agreements with all carriers depends on port to port distances. For long haul voyages we use Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM and Safmarine. For short haul voyages we use FarEast based carriers like Cosco, Hyundai and Emirates and similarly for medium and long hauls we are using other carriers. This way we successfully suffice customers’ needs in 360 degrees.
