The company has a strong network of partners and agents worldwide, which enables them to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions to their clients. Their services include FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load), customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery. With their expertise in sea freight, they are able to handle any type of cargo, including hazardous materials, oversized cargo, and perishable goods.

Rail Freight Services

Global Logistics & Forwarding B.V. is the go-to logistics chain director for your rail freight. As a logistics specialist, we offer you a wide range of transport modalities around the world, including rail freight. In recent years, importing and exporting containers and general cargo by freight train has become an increasingly attractive option, partly because rail freight is faster than sea freight and cheaper than air freight.

Air Freight Services

Global Logistics & Forwarding BV provides air freight services that are tailored to the specific needs of their clients. Their services include express, economy, and charter services, as well as customs clearance and door-to-door delivery. With their extensive network of airline partners, they are able to offer competitive rates and efficient transit times.

Global Logistics & Forwarding B.V. offer high-quality logistics solutions for small to medium-sized companies and large corporations. We can handle shipments of all sizes including Less than Container Loads (LCL’s), Full Container Loads (FCL’s) vehicles, caravans, machinery parts and project shipping for hazardous or over-sized cargo. We stay ahead of the competition through best practice, by consistently enhancing our solutions in collaboration with our network of partners for a seamless service experience.

Sea Fright Services

The complete sea transport from the port of Rotterdam and Antwerp to a destination of your choice and the customs formalities are organized by Global Logistics & Forwarding B.V. By leveraging our global network and long-standing carrier relationships, Global Logistics & Forwarding B.V. brings you flexible, reliable ocean transport solutions built around operational excellence.

We take the time to understand your business and then work with you to develop customized transportation solutions, from finding the best schedule for shipments to securing competitive rates. Whether you need to split or share loads or link with other services – such as transport by air, multimodal transport, cross-border services, or customs house brokerage services – we always go above and beyond to help you find the solutions you need.

Sharing a sea container is even more advantageous

At Global Logistics & Forwarding B.V. you also have the possibility to share a sea container with other shipments, this is called Groupage Transport. When several people have the same port destination for shipping items, these items can be placed in the same sea container and sail out to your new destination. The advantage of this is that in addition to cheaper sea transport, you also share these costs with others based on the volume that you are
sending, so twice as cheap!

What do I need to consider when moving by sea?

Below you will find a number of points of attention for moving by sea container. There are certain things you need to take into account when using our sea shipments.

  • You can choose to pack and/or load the goods yourself or have us do it for you. If you do it yourself, we will send you detailed instructions and tips on how to pack the goods and how to document them.
  • We can provide you with an estimate of the transit time based on previous experience.
  • As soon as the booking is confirmed with a shipping company we receive a ”Bill of Lading number” and with that you can follow the container via Track & Trace.
  • Shipping liquids via a sea container is not recommended. Bottles of liquids can easily leak and the insurance will not cover any damage caused by this.
  • Inside a container it can easily get 50 degrees Celsius or even warmer, keep this in mind when choosing the goods you want to ship!

Over land, over sea and in the air.

With transport by sea you do not only have to think about transport to cities and countries that are close to the sea or ocean. A combination of sea, air and train or truck transport is certainly possible as well and Global Logistics & Forwarding B.V. will organize it for you.
So you can simply move internationally, for example from the Netherlands to the desert city of Las Vegas.

Air Fright Services

Transport by Air

When delivery time needs to be as short as possible, Transport by Air is the most efficient choice. Using our international network, we ensure that your shipments are always on time. Due to our strong relationships with various airlines, we have been able to always offer the right service at competitive rates. Depending on your wishes and needs, we offer customized solutions. Whether it’s a small package or chartering an aircraft, your needs are our priority.

Our expertise and experience allow us to determine which service is best for you. For example, based on delivery time or budget. In addition, we advise you how your shipments can be shipped as efficiently as possible. With each shipment, we offer different options so you can make an informed choice about how you ship your goods. 

What can be transported by air

First of all, commercial aviation allows the transport of people. Second, transport by air is one of the most widely used modes of transport. Although it is true that it is a type of transport with a high cost, speed is its most outstanding advantage. And it is that there are goods, which, by their very nature, can only and exclusively be transported by air, such as:

  • General merchandise: It does not require special treatment on the aircraft or in the cargo terminal. These are products whose fragility is not too high, and whose value makes exporters choose to bring them by air.
  • Perishable goods: Perishable goods are those that deteriorate after a period of time due, for example, to weather conditions, shock or humidity. In this way, fresh foods (meat, fish, fruits, vegetables) or flowers and plants are perishable goods.
  • Pharmaceutical goods: We refer to medicines, vaccines or pharmaceutical products. In the same way, as in the case of perishable goods, pharma products often require extensive temperature control.
  • Dangerous Goods (DG): As their name indicates, they are those products that can cause harm to human health and/or the environment, such as explosives, flammable gases, liquids or solids, or toxic substances. In this way, this type of merchandise can only be transported by air.
  • Urgent goods: As we mentioned at the beginning, one of the main advantages of air transport is speed, for this reason it is ideal for urgent goods, that is, those that have to reach their destination as soon as possible.
  • Goods of value: These are those that have a high economic value. Although the ship is a safe means of transport, the plane offers greater guarantees. Some examples of valuable goods are jewelry, precious stones or certain works of art.

Over land, over sea and in the air.

Transport by Air is almost always combined with other forms of transport to eventually get the shipment from sender to recipient. In those cases, a combination of air/road transport and air/sea is often the fastest and most targeted way to bring goods to the customer. Global Logistics & Forwarding B.V. is a valuable partner of the client in these complicated logistics processes.
