Cargo Captain

About

A new company, run by people who have done this before.

Cargo Captain was founded to offer what experienced shippers value most and find hardest to get: one accountable person, independent advice and straight answers.

Why we started

Freight should not feel like a gamble.

{{TODO: two or three sentences in the founders' own words on why they started Cargo Captain, and what they saw go wrong elsewhere that they wanted to do differently}}

We chose to be carrier-neutral from the start. Without a fleet of our own to fill, our recommendation for each shipment can be the right one rather than the convenient one: the carrier, route and mode that suit your cargo, your deadline and your budget.

We are deliberately not the largest forwarder you could choose. We aim to be the one that answers the phone, knows your shipment without being briefed twice, and tells you about a problem before you discover it yourself.

The team

The people you will deal with.

Not an account team you never meet. These are the people who quote, book and follow your shipments, and you can reach them directly.

How we operate

Four principles we will not trade away.

  1. Accountability has a name

    Every shipment has one named owner at Cargo Captain, from quote to close-out. When something needs a decision, you know who will make it.

  2. Independence is the point

    We have no vessels, aircraft or trucks to fill. Carriers earn our business shipment by shipment, on reliability, compliance and price.

  3. Everything in writing

    Quotes are itemised, scope is explicit, and changes are confirmed before they happen. Our terms are published on this site, not hidden in small print.

  4. Bad news travels fast

    Delays and problems are part of freight. Hiding them is not. You will hear from us first, with the facts and the options.

Credentials

Licences, memberships and insurance.

What we hold, stated precisely. We list only what can be verified.

{{TODO: list only licences, memberships (e.g. national forwarding association, FIATA) and liability insurance that Cargo Captain actually holds, with numbers where applicable. If none yet, keep this sentence instead: Cargo Captain is newly established; details of our liability insurance are available on request.}}
