We offer customised sea freight solutions including worldwide shipping and efficient pre- and onward carriage – reliable, economical and from a single source.

Global Sea Freight Solutions from a Single Source

The Sostmeier Group provides comprehensive sea freight services for imports and exports worldwide. Whether FCL, LCL or special transports – we take care of the entire organisation of your shipment, including pre- and onward carriage.

Thanks to our many years of experience and a strong network of partners, we guarantee smooth operations, transparent processes and customised solutions. Efficiency, punctuality and cost-effectiveness are our top priorities – from port to port and far beyond.

Our sea freight services include:
 

Full Container Load (FCL)

In addition to standard 20-inch and 40-inch containers, we also offer special equipment such as flat racks, refrigerated containers and open-top containers.

 

Less than Container Load (LCL)

With Less than Container Load (LCL), we consolidate your partial loads with other consignments to enable cost-efficient transport with full flexibility.

 

Buyer’s Consolidation

We consolidate your goods or those of your suppliers to create synergies and secure cost advantages for our customers. Here, we benefit from both our own hub and a large partner network.
 

Real-time tracking including risk monitor

Benefit from our complete monitoring of your containers from loading to final unloading at your customer’s premises – with real-time updates on every event.
 

Extensive global carrier network

We work with leading, established sea freight partners, giving us access to a global network that enables us to offer door-to-door deliveries on every continent (and, of course, we also handle all other Incoterms).
 

Reliable availability of cargo space

Our strong carrier network ensures reliable availability of cargo space – even during periods of high utilisation and short-term demand.
 

Integrated supply chain solutions

As an additional module, we optimise order processing by monitoring and reducing costs, improving utilisation and frequency, and working hand in hand with our customers to develop solutions that improve their supply chains.
