We offer a full range of ocean related services including Ocean Forwarding, NVOCC Consolidation, and LCL or FCL container management. From flat racks, twenty-foot and forty-foot containers to high-cubes, Crown International understands client needs.
Ocean vessels operate on regularly schedule routes; however, many destinations are not on regularly scheduled routes. Typically, these ocean vessels are smaller and more specialized to handle out-of-gauge cargo. Crown has in depth knowledge and global availability of such charters.
Trucking Services
Crown offers TL (truckload) and LTL (less-than-truckload) services. With our experience and vast network, Crown is able to provide dedicated fleets, rail service and other client specific/project specific trucking services. In the U.S. and in Europe, knowledge of oversized and out of gauge trucking permitting procedures and transit regulations are critical to on time performance. Overseas, especially to developing country project sites, the specialized trucking equipment required for transit of heavy and out of gauge cargo can be scarce. Intimate knowledge of specialized trucking capabilities is another aspect of Crown services our clients depend on.

Proper planning and execution of oversized and out of gauge shipments can save thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of a project. Crown provides the necessary expertise and infrastructure to manage oversized project cargo movements from origin to destination.
