At ASC, we believe the best sea freight services combine flexibility, global reach, and meticulous end-to-end management. Here’s how we stand out as a sea freight forwarding partner:

• Global Carrier Network & Local Presence:
  We have operations and strategic partnerships in the world’s major manufacturing and trading regions, including warehousing, and consolidation centres in key locations like China (including Shanghai, the world’s largest container port). In regions where we don’t have owned facilities, we partner with vetted local agents. You get the benefit of worldwide coverage with a single point of contact.

• Competitive Rates & Sea Freight Buying Power:
  As part of our service, we constantly strive to save you money on ocean freight. ASC also offers membership to a sea freight buying group, which can aggregate volume by essentially combining our clients’ cargo volumes to negotiate better rates than a single shipper could; unlocking preferential rates and service terms usually reserved for high-volume shippers.

• Scalability & Flexibility:
  Whether you’re moving a one-time project cargo or establishing a continuous ocean supply line, ASC can scale our services to your needs. Our sea freight solutions are not one-size-fits-all; we adapt scheduling, container types, and staffing to handle fluctuating volumes and special requests.

• Emphasis on Quality, Speed, and Affordability:
  Through careful carrier selection and routing, we aim for the fastest possible transit times for the service level you choose, without incurring unnecessary costs. “Quality” in sea freight means accurate documentation, cargo safety, and timely updates, all of which we deliver as a standard part of our service offering.

• Tracking & Monitoring:
  We combine cutting-edge logistics IT with human expertise to manage your shipments. You’ll benefit from online tracking tools and status alerts for transparency, while our teams use advanced systems to plan loads and monitor voyages. Our track-and-trace systems let you see where your container is (on the vessel, at transshipment, in customs, etc.) in real time.
