Ocean & air freight: through every North Range port, not just one.

Your cargo goes where vessel, schedule and cost fit – Antwerp, Rotterdam, Bremerhaven or Hamburg. And when sea is too slow: air freight, charter or on-board courier with a fixed price in under 45 minutes.

Ocean & air freight

Your partner in Northern Europe

We don’t sit in one port, we work in all four. That means we compare breakbulk sailings from Antwerp with RoRo from Bremerhaven and container loadings from Hamburg or Rotterdam – and choose what suits piece, date and budget best. As release agent we handle release, buffer storage and delivery across Europe.

For time-critical cargo there is the air: air freight, part and full charter and the TA Express Courier – a courier flies with your shipment as a passenger when a line stoppage costs more than any ticket.

Four things we hear a lot – and what we do about them

01

“Which port is right for this piece?”

We calculate all four: breakbulk from Antwerp, RoRo from Bremerhaven, containers from Hamburg or Rotterdam – chosen by sailing, vessel type, pre-carriage cost and permit route, not by office location.

02

“The containers are in port, the jobsite isn’t ready yet.”

As release agent we handle release, DG buffer storage in Northern Germany and call-off to the jobsite – including BESS containers from Asia.

03

“The line is down – air freight takes three days.”

Then the shipment flies as a passenger: TA Express Courier, feasibility and fixed price in under 45 minutes, departure usually the same day. Or part and full charter when it’s bigger.

04

“Rolling unit, 71 tonnes, destination Shanghai.”

RoRo from Bremerhaven with mafi loading, terminal coordination, securing concept and loading survey – including road permits for the pre-carriage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which port is the right one?

The one where sailing, vessel type, pre-carriage cost and permit route fit best together. That is exactly why we don’t commit to one port but calculate all four.

Do you also do LCL?

Yes, when it belongs to the project – accessories, spare parts, tooling. Pure groupage without a project context is not our focus.

How fast is the Express Courier really?

Feasibility and fixed price in under 45 minutes, departure usually the same day. Details on the TA Express Courier page.

My piece is too big for a container – do I have to pay for a whole flat rack?

Not necessarily. With XXL Consolidation several out-of-gauge shipments share one flat rack – you only pay for the space your cargo takes. If dimensions or weight go beyond that, we compare FCL OOG, breakbulk, RoRo or charter.

Is there a faster alternative to through rail from China?

Yes: TA Rail China – rail to the EU border, transhipment near Warsaw and a bonded truck straight to your door. To our knowledge up to 10 days earlier than the through rail connection.
