For over 50 years, Western Overseas has taken a leadership role in shaping the international logistics profession; from the advent of containerization to the implementation of the Cargo Security Initiative.

Export Freight Forwarding

Western Overseas Corporation offers a comprehensive export freight forwarding service through our national network of offices. We recognize that export markets are becoming more important to U.S. companies as a new source of sales. Our objective is to assist our export clients in reducing paperwork, expediting the movement of their cargo and lowering shipping costs so that they can increase profitability and expand export sales.

Freight costs quotations

An important component of the service a freight forwarder provides to their clients is the prompt processing of export freight cost quotations. We understand that our clients require this information to reply to their potential customers and to complete pricing for C.I.F. sales. Western Overseas has devised this Export Quote Request form (please click for access) in order to facilitate the quotation process.

Ocean Freight

A major part of our job is to assist the exporter and their customer in selecting the right ocean carrier for their cargo. The right carrier is not always the cheapest carrier. A number of factors have to be taken into consideration: transit time, rate, dependability and the efficiency and location of pier facilities. Western Overseas export operations people are experienced in dealing with and understanding these issues.

Air Freight

Any recent experience in boarding an airplane as a passenger at a U.S. airport will also give you an idea of how the acceptance and forwarding of air cargo has changed. Added security requirements must be addressed to insure the prompt forwarding of export air cargo. Our airfreight personnel regularly attend seminars and classes to keep us up-to-date on who is and who is not considered as a known shipper and other security matters. The reduction of flights due to the global recession in air travel has made it important to select an airfreight forwarder who can obtain space on frequently over-booked flights. As one of the oldest independent airfreight forwarders in the U.S., we maintain excellent working relationships with the air carriers and our credibility and reputation in the industry is a major asset for our clients.

Hazardous Cargo

Another consequence of increased international tensions has been the added scrutiny of the shipment of hazardous materials. Western Overseas recognizes our responsibility, therefore, we send our export personnel to the required hazardous materials seminars on a regular basis to stay informed about packaging and documentation requirements for the movement of haz-mat shipments so that we can advise our clients in this area.
