Land and Sea Shipping is a 4PL (Fourth-Party Logistics) provider. We are a company that specialize in managing comprehensive and time-critical logistics operations. Our value add to the industry is we extend our role beyond managing individual shipments to taking full responsibility for the entire supply chain. Time-sensitive logistics (TSL) focuses on the rapid, reliable delivery of high-priority goods within stringent timelines.
Our services in this area ensure that vital shipments are handled with precision, efficiency, and transparency.
Modes of Transport Used for Time-Sensitive Logistics We leverage a multimodal transportation strategy to ensure flexibility and speed in delivering urgent shipments:
Air Freight: Primary mode for ultra-critical shipments. We utilize direct flights to minimize transit times and ensure that deliveries can meet stringent deadlines. Our partnerships with major carriers and access to chartered flights further enhance our ability to handle urgent airfreight as we are an IATA registered agent.
Road Transport: We utilize expedited trucking services for both short-haul and long-haul deliveries. Our trucks are equipped with GPS for real-time tracking and temperature control capabilities for perishable or sensitive goods.
Ocean Freight (Special Cases): Although ocean freight is typically not used for urgent shipments, in select cases where we can expedite the process (e.g., fast-track customs clearance or premium container services), we offer this as an option, particularly for larger volume shipments.
