A perspective from Tom Murphy addressing the benefits the customer gains from Schenker's 130 years as a leader in global ocean transport.

Because ocean transport is becoming a more vital part of the world economy, Schenker, as a pioneer and innovator since we joined the evolution of global logistics 130 years ago, has developed products and services that are setting new standards for the industry even today.

Today, SCHENKERocean covers a wide spectrum of intermodal ocean transport for time-definite, door-to-door delivery of goods to any point on the globe. The high quality and efficiency of SCHENKERocean is based on long-term contractual relationships with reliable carriers that are then bundled with customized pre- and on-carriage arrangements. This global presence gives customers access to a logistics network second to none. Schenker's global volume buying power with core ocean freight carriers ensures not only the most competitive rates available but also the best selection of carriers.

Now, with Schenker's expertise, BAX Global offers a complete range of services for all types of cargo shipped with Schenker expertise from any locale worldwide to another. Services include consolidated shipments, full-container shipments, full and partial charters, roll-on/roll-off, and barge cargo freight forwarding. When production delays occur, as they often do in today's integrated supply chain environment with vendors stretched half way around the globe, we have the ability to transfer shipments to a variety of airfreight options for JIT delivery.

Through the operation of Schenker's own NVOCC, BAX provides customized ocean carriage to meet all of our customers' needs, including fixed weekly express service from all major U.S. points and ports to over 150 global destinations, fully staffed warehouse operations worldwide, competitive FCL contracts, LCL contracts, services for out-of gauge and heavy cargo, 24-hour unpack and cargo availability at most destinations, and quality, time-definite service to the world.

SCHENKERocean offers the right system for all types of cargo and requirements, all with the backing of a truly global import and export organization. If your logistics requirements include ocean transport anywhere worldwide, we can work out the most suitable transportation arrangements, selecting the appropriate carriers for every shipment. With 130 years of experience in ocean transport, Schenker has an edge. For you, that translates into competitive advantage.
