TRANSSHIPMENT Since we initiated our first transshipment project in Turkey in 2001, this division has come a long way. We have invested about US$ 600 million in the segment and now run ten projects, employing about 1,100 people. More than 200 million mt have been transshipped by OLDENDORFF CARRIERS so far. 61 FLOATING UNITS OUR TRANSSHIPMENT DIVISION Our current annual volume of 40 mtpa sets us apart from our competitors. We offer bespoke logistics solutions that result in substantial freight savings. Insufficient port facilities or a shallow draft do not mean that you have to use small ships with poor economics. We can transship your cargoes from or onto larger vessels, giving you a lower freight rate per ton on long-haul trades. In some cases, transshipment solutions can also increase throughput or actually make a commodity competitive in the first place. We arrange the ocean transportation as well as the transshipment in a safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. We assume full responsibility for the entire package. Our task is to assist clients in achieving their goals by designing, building and operating an efficient system. Our dedicated team consists of material handling experts, naval architects, engineers and captains. Let us develop a tailor-made solution for your project.
