A liner agent acts on behalf of a carrier, or shipping line, to market and facilitate their operations in an area where they do not have a physical presence. Liner agents sell the carrier's services to local shippers, to secure bookings, as well as manage ancillary services on the carriers’ behalf, such as haulage, container tracking, documentation and customs clearance.
Carriers will often have a network of liner agents in their shipping network so that they can have greater coverage whilst eliminating the need to have their own offices in each location.
Cory Brothers provide liner services for principles around the globe. Contact us for more information on our services today.
If the goods are shipped in a container, the ocean freight rate will be calculated per container. These rates can be different for the size and type of container that is being shipped (EG 40’DV & 40’HC), so ask for a quote for the exact shipping equipment that you require.
If the goods are shipped as part of a loaded container (LCL), then the sea freight will be determined using the FCL container rate (that the co-loader will pay to the carrier), the loading/unloading, the administration and the volume/weight of your consignment.
At Cory Brothers, we provide you with cost-effective ocean freight. Get in touch for more info.
