Schenker: Focus on Ocean Forwarding

Schenker. Inc., an integrated logistics provider is in the process of restructuring its Hanover, Md., office to better service its ocean customers. Schenker offers a complete range of ocean freight services for all types of cargo - consolidated or full-container shipments, full and partial charters, RoRo, and barge cargo transportation. The Port of Baltimore is strategically located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. east coast, making it the closest Atlantic port to major Mid-western locations. Schenker plans to take advantage of its location and has added additional salespeople to concentrate on bringing in new and additional business from existing customers. "It is important to get our ocean freight services known to the general public. We offer consolidated container service, meaning that the small shipper can get the same financial benefits as the larger shipper," said Kevin Johnston, Baltimore's branch manager.
