Sea, air and road freight from the Rotterdam gateway — arranged door to door, by a team that answers the phone and tells you where your cargo actually is.
“Logistics is about more than transport. It is about connecting people, markets and opportunities.”

01 — What we do
Most shipments use more than one mode before they arrive. We plan the whole route, not just the leg you asked about, and we tell you when a cheaper option is the slower one.

Sea freight →
02 / Air freight
Standard, express and charter. When a machine is down or a vessel is waiting, air is not a luxury — it is the cheapest option you have.
Air freight →
03 / Road
FTL and LTL across Europe, and container haulage to and from the terminals. Short lines, because the trucks are close by.
Road transport →
04 / Warehousing
Storage, handling, pick and pack, and full warehouse service near the port — so cargo can wait somewhere sensible instead of on a quay.
Warehousing →02 — Why SGF
A forwarder is easy to find. One that tells you a sailing has been rolled before you notice it yourself is harder. We keep the files with the person who quoted them, so nothing has to be explained twice.
03 — Express, AOG & ship spares
An aircraft on the ground and a vessel waiting for a part cost more per hour than the freight ever will. These shipments get their own route, their own paperwork and a phone that is answered outside office hours.
04 — How it works
The same four steps whether it is one pallet to Hamburg or a full charter to Lagos. What changes is how much of it you want to see.
01
What is moving, from where to where, and by when. If the deadline is the hard part, we start there and work backwards.
02
A quote with the whole route in it — legs, transit time, customs, and the assumptions behind the price. No surprises further down.
03
Booking, collection, documents, customs and the handover. One file, one contact, one reference number.
04
Delivery confirmed, documents filed, invoice matching the quote. And a note on what to do differently next time.
05 — Trade lanes
