Unitcargo offers its customers guaranteed slots with ocean carriers, the best rates and acts as the carrier of the cargo. As an NVOCC, we block book space at discounted rates with the shipping lines and sell this space to shippers in smaller amounts. Our strong relationships with the leading carriers, based on our large volumes and excellent reputation, mean that Unitcargo’s customers are able to move their cargoes in and out of Houston quickly and efficiently.
Unitcargo does not own any vessels, but acts as the carrier by accepting the carrier’s responsibilities and issuing bills of lading. We offer our customers a door-to-door service guaranteeing the provision of an effective international shipping function. Our international agency network, backed up by our service center, ensures local expertise around the world.
Partnering with Unitcargo means more than simply getting access to a competitive price. It means getting access to the best logistical solution for your company. We work with our clients to ensure innovative and effective door-to-door supply chain solutions. Whether this involves setting up short-sea barge services, offering packaging in dedicated warehouses or simply ensuring swift customs clearance, Unitcargo believes in providing its customers with intelligent solutions to their everyday logistical requirements.
In 2009 Unitcargo made a significant investment in an international service center operation, ensuring that cargoes in our care move around the world as swiftly as possible. Our 13 strong team, based in the Philippines, works on US time helping customers throughout the cargo movement process. This investment allows us to deliver significant savings and efficiencies to our clients.
